 Requirements

-Since 1.0pre3, we use OpenSSL for all cryptographic functions.  So you
-need to install this library first; grab it from
-https://www.openssl.org/.  You will need version 0.9.7 or later.  If
-this library is not installed on you system, configure will fail.  The
-manual in doc/tinc.texi contains more detailed information on how to
-install this library.
+Either OpenSSL (https://www.openssl.org/) or libgcrypt
+(https://www.gnupg.org/download/#libgcrypt).
 
-Since 1.0pre6, the zlib library is used for optional compression. You can
-find it at https://www.gzip.org/zlib/. Because of a possible exploit in
-earlier versions we recommend that you download version 1.1.4 or later.
