CELT (Code-Excited Lapped Transform) is an ultra-low delay audio codec designed for realtime transmission of high quality speech and audio. This is meant to close the gap between traditional speech codecs (such as Speex) and traditional audio codecs (such as Vorbis).

Changes:
This release fixes a number of issues with 0.5.0. Several cases where the encoder could fail have been fixed, including one that could cause memory corruption (and possibly a segfault). In addition, the VQ search has been improved, which results in a small CPU usage reduction, while fixing some quality problems with low frequency tones. Other than that, there should be no significant quality changes.
