Is libglew.a still needed by libsfml-graphics.a (and libsfml-graphics-s.a)?

Here http://www.sfml-dev.org/faq.php#build-link-static it says that "glew" is a required library for using "sfml-graphics" (sfml-graphics-s in my case). But linking using MinGW from command line gives error "cannot find -lglew". If I remove this link then everything is fine and my program links and runs.

Looking in the libs directory of my install for SFML shows that libglew.a is not there. It isn't the dependencies folder for MinGW on GitHub either (https://github.com/SFML/SFML/tree/master/extlibs/libs-mingw/x86). Does this mean it is not required anymore?

Better look at the tutorial, looks like we haven't update the FAQ yet.

With SFML 2.3 you don't need GLEW anymore.

Thank you 

My current "project" is just trying out bits from the tutorials. I'd glossed over the dependencies and kept coming back to the FAQ for that though...
