+14. Building with libsodium support
+===================================
+
+For better encryption support, you can build Vim with libsodium.
+
+A) Using MSVC
+
+You can download the latest libsodium library from here:
+	https://download.libsodium.org/libsodium/releases/
+
+At this moment, libsodium-1.0.18-stable-msvc.zip is the latest package.
+Unpack it to anywhere you like, and specify the path to the SODIUM option:
+
+    nmake -f Make_mvc.mak SODIUM=C:/path/to/libsodium
+    (libsodium.dll will be used as the libsodium DLL name.)
+
+B) Using MinGW
+
+If you use msys2, you can install the libsodium package by pacman (or pacboy):
+
+    $ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-libsodium	# for 64-bit Vim
+    $ pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-libsodium	# for 32-bit Vim
+    $ pacboy -S libsodium:m		# for both 32-bit and 64-bit Vim
+
+Then set SODIUM to yes:
+
+    mingw32-make -f Make_ming.mak SODIUM=yes
+    (libsodium-23.dll will be used as the libsodium DLL name.)
+
+Or you can set the path to libsodium explicitly:
+
+    mingw32-make -f Make_ming.mak SODIUM=C:/path/to/libsodium
+    (libsodium.dll will be used as the libsodium DLL name.)
+

 The MS-DOS support was removed in patch 7.4.1399.  Only very old Vim versions
 work on MS-DOS because of the limited amount of memory available.
