Celt 0.11.1 release announcement says
"CELT 0.11.0 (originally not announced) and 0.11.1 has been released with a
focus on freezing the bit-stream and updating the API. The bit-stream is
now in "soft-freeze" state meaning there is an attempt to keep it fixed,
but some bugs may force changes" so if some codec negociation was
introduced, I'd target celt 0.11.1+ (explicitly noting that celt 0.11.1+
support may be broken at any time if celt bitstream format has to change
before it's officially frozen).
