Becoming a Burp Suite early adopter - Port Swigger
Summary: PortSwigger runs two release channels for Burp Suite, Early Adopter and Stable, with new features appearing first on the early adopter channel and moving to stable after a couple of weeks once the company is confident there are no unforeseen issues. By default Burp updates itself to the latest stable release, but users can install the early adopter version manually from the releases page or select the Early Adopter channel under Settings > Suite > Updates, and the channel choice is tied to the installation rather than the user.
Key Takeaway: The channel setting belongs to the installation, not the user, so one machine can stay on stable for everyday work while another runs early adopter builds - meaning the decision of which build touches production testing is a per-install choice someone has to own.
