Update regarding HD wallets:
Quote
Upgrading a non-Hierarchical Deterministic (HD) wallet to an HD wallet is now possible. Previously new HD wallets could be created, but non-HD wallets could not be upgraded. This update will enable existing non-HD wallets to upgrade to take advantage of HD wallet features. Upgrades must be done via either the debug console or command line and a new backup must be made when this upgrade is performed.
