Hi shibes!

We want to announce the release of Dogecoin Core 1.7.1.

This is a security release.

Dogecoin Core 1.7.1 is built against OpenSSL 1.0.1h, released to close recently disclosed vulnerabilities, which could have an impact on the usage of RPC over SSL. If you use this feature, it is advised that you upgrade to 1.7.1 and OpenSSL 1.0.1h.

If you do not use RPC over SSL or don't even know what RPC is, you don't need to upgrade.

No other changes where made in this release.

If you are still using Dogecoin Core 1.6 and also use RPC over SSL in a publicly accessible manner, we advise you to upgrade to 1.7.1 or restrict the usage of RPC to your local controlled network.

Get it at http://dogecoin.com or compile it from https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin if you need to :)

That's all, thanks :)

EDIT: The Mac version still shows 1.7.0. That's fine though as the OpenSSL version is still correct. Sorry if that lead to confusion.
