# Dogecoin Core 1.8.1
=====================
Dogecoin Core 1.8.1 is a bugfix release...
Dogecoin Core 1.8.1 is primarily a bugfix release, bringing Dogecoin Core in
line with Bitcoin 0.9.3. Dogecoin Core 1.8.1 also adds in support for printing
paper wallets, and disables connections to pre-1.8 clients.
Paper wallet support has been developed by AndyMeadows (IRC username), and
can be accessed via the "File" menu. It's intended for two purposes; to generate
small value paper wallets to hand out, and more permanent deposit paper wallets
for keeping balances offline.
IMPORTANT: If you are producing offline paper wallets, you should do so on a
computer that's disconnected from the Internet. While the wallet generator
does not save the keys it generates, this ensures there is no risk of a virus
or similar capturing the key from memory or interfering with its generation.
