 salo demanded some clarification, so here it is:
 
 There are no known security problems with the 1.0.2 release of silc-client,
 but there is e.g. the bug that you cannot join channels. This means that
 one has to use silc-client 1.0.1, which in turn has security problems.
 
 Thus it would be a good idea to have 1.0.4.1, where you can join channels
 and live without known security problems at the same time.
