title: "Irssi 1.0.4 Released"
---

Irssi 1.0.4 has been released. This release fixes two remote crash
issues in Irssi as well as a few bugs, correcting a mistake that
was introduced in 1.0.3 while parsing some time-related
settings. There are no new features. **All Irssi users should upgrade
to this version**. See the
[NEWS](//raw.githubusercontent.com/irssi/irssi/1.0.4/NEWS) for
details.
