CentOS - Oct 2006 - fftw upgrade?

I have noticed that fftw has recently been updated from major version 2 
to major version 3. It seems the update stems from the mother 
distribution from RedHat. AFAIK, there are changes to the API in fftw 
version 3, which may give problems with 3rd party packages. Has anyone 
got experience with this? And any advice to offer?

Cheers,
Morten

I believe they are not at all compatible. But version 2 is still  
maintained, the package is called fftw2 (and fftw2-devel)
