* Image support
Emacs has built in support for XBM and PPM/PGM/PBM images, and the
libXpm library from X11R7.3.
Emacs can also support some other image formats with appropriate
- libraries. These libraries are all available as part of GTK, or from
- gnuwin32.sourceforge.net. Emacs will find them if the directory they
- are installed in is on the PATH.
-
- PNG: requires the PNG reference library 1.2 or later, which will
- be named libpng13d.dll, libpng13.dll, libpng12d.dll, libpng12.dll
- or libpng.dll. LibPNG requires zlib, which should come from the same
- source as you got libpng.
+ libraries. These libraries are all available as part of GTK
+ download for Windows (http://www.gtk.org/download-windows.html), or
+ from the GnuWin32 project. Emacs will find them if the directory
+ they are installed in is on the PATH.
+
+ PNG: requires the PNG reference library 1.4 or later, which will
+ be named libpng14.dll or libpng14-14.dll. LibPNG requires zlib,
+ which should come from the same source as you got libpng.
+ Starting with Emacs 23.3, the precompiled Emacs binaries are
+ built with libpng 1.4.x and later, and are incompatible with
+ earlier versions of libpng DLLs. So if you have libpng 1.2.x,
+ the PNG support will not work, and you will have to download
+ newer versions.
JPEG: requires the Independant JPEG Group's libjpeg 6b or later,
which will be called jpeg62.dll, libjpeg.dll, jpeg-62.dll or jpeg.dll.
GIF: requires libungif or giflib 4.1 or later, which will be
called giflib4.dll, libungif4.dll or libungif.dll.
+ If you have image support DLLs under different names, customize the
+ value of `dynamic-library-alist'.
+
In addition, Emacs can be compiled to support SVG. This precompiled
distribution has not been compiled that way, since the SVG library
or one or more of its extensive dependencies appear to be
unreliable under Windows. See nt/INSTALL in the src distribution if
you wish to compile Emacs with SVG support.
+* GnuTLS support
+
+ In order to support GnuTLS at runtime, Emacs must be able to find
+ the relevant DLLs during startup; failure to do so is not an error,
+ but GnuTLS won't be available to the running session.
+
+ You can get pre-built binaries (including any required DLL and the
+ gnutls.h file) and an installer at http://josefsson.org/gnutls4win/.

* Uninstalling Emacs
If you should need to uninstall Emacs, simply delete all the files
