* Image support
- Emacs 24.1 contains support for images, however for most image formats
- supporting libraries are required. This distribution has been tested
- with the libraries that are distributed with GTK for Windows, and the
- libraries found at http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/. The following image

formats are supported:
PBM/PGM/PPM: Supported natively by Emacs. This format is used for
can be replaced by other versions with the name xpm4.dll,
libxpm-nox4.dll or libxpm.dll.
- 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.
+ 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 Independent JPEG Group's libjpeg 6b or later,
which will be called jpeg62.dll, libjpeg.dll, jpeg-62.dll or jpeg.dll.
Emacs can also support some other image formats with appropriate
libraries. These libraries are all available as part of GTK
- download for Windows (http://www.gtk.org/download-windows.html), or
+ download for Windows (http://www.gtk.org/download/win32.php), or
from the GnuWin32 project. Emacs will find them if the directory
they are installed in is on the PATH.
