 API changes, most recent first:
 
+2023-09-xx - xxxxxxxxxx - lavc 60.25.100 - avfft.h
+  The entire header will be deprecated and removed in two major bumps.
+  For a replacement to av_dct, av_rdft, av_fft and av_mdct, use
+  the new API from libavutil/tx.h.

 2023-07-xx - xxxxxxxxxx - lavu 58.18.100 - tx.h
   Add AV_TX_REAL_TO_REAL and AV_TX_REAL_TO_IMAGINARY
