Professional 1.2.12
Summary: PortSwigger released Burp Suite Professional 1.2.12 on 3 July 2009, adding a "find references" feature that searches all of Burp's tools for HTTP responses linking to a selected request, URL, domain, or folder, treating the original URL as a prefix. The release also added a configurable background autosave of Burp's state that persists across reloads, an option to URL-encode characters like & and = as you type in the HTTP message editor, and a change making live active scanning ignore requests for media resources that contain no non-cookie parameters.
What's compelling: The scanner now skips media requests with no non-cookie parameters as having no security significance, so any finding that depends on those requests only surfaces if an operator manually selects and sends them for active scanning.
