Transfig has been updated (and Xfig in June). Here is the Xfig and Transfig 3.2.5 software:
transfig.3.2.5c.tar.gz
xfig.3.2.5b.full.tar.gz
Changes to Xfig:

-----------------------------------
Patchlevel 5b (Jun 1, 2009)

BUGS FIXED:
	o Dimension line indicator incorrectly showed arrow length/width
	o Several patches from Fedora xfig maintainer
	o divide by 0 under certain circumstances in ruler code
	  From Libor Pechacek
	o Segfault if PRINTER env variable was not defined
-----------------------------------
Patchlevel 5a (Mar 16, 2009):

NEW FEATURES:
	o Fig-color merged into Fig app-defaults file because almost no one knows about
	  the "*customization: -color" option to make X programs read the color def file.
	o 22 new arrowhead types
	o changed default browser to firefox and default pdf viewer to xpdf
	o HTML MAP export (fig2dev) produces reference to .png file instead of .gif now
	o A note added to i18n.html that says if you run fig2dev standalone, you must
	  pass the -j option to it
	o No need to have the C99 complex functions in the math library.
	o New computers from Andre Esser (Libraries/Computers)
	o Some network icons colored and/or combined by Roland Rosenfeld.
	o When exporting only active layers have choice of bounding area of whole
	  figure or only the active layers
	o Two new library figures - piano_keyboard.fig, top view of a piano keyboard
	  by Reinaert Albrecht, and piano_keyboard_perspect.fig, a perspective
	  view of a piano keyboard by Brian Smith, both in the Libraries/Music
	  directory.
	o New library figure - scissors.fig in Libraries/OfficeEquip from Kasie
	  Breezer Talbot
	o Search tolerance increased from 4 pixels to 10 for zoom < 20
	o Isometric grid to ease making isometric drawings
	  From Jasper Wesselingh
	o New 37-pin D connector and 50-pin ribbon connector in Libraries/Electronic/Physical

BUGS FIXED:
	o dimension line arrowhead width and length used %d instead of %f in
	  dialog, always displaying 0
	o leftover debugging printf(...color = ) in startup
	o finally fixed size of mode panel so it doesn't cover indicator panel
	  under certain circumstances
	o removed "Alpha" from splash
	o updated copyright date in Help/About
	o problem with depth panel height due to snap mode indicator
	o snap indicator indicated "Focus" when "Diameter" was selected
	o w_keyboard.c had pointer assignment reversed
	o extraneous "done" in Imakefile in "install.jhtml" section
	  From Eric Scott
	o many protoytpe cleanups from Eric Scott
	o #ifndef __FreeBSD__ added around #include  from Eric Scott
	o uses rint() instead of lrint() for those with non-C99 compilers
	o Solaris doesn't have REG_NOERROR for regex, so have new #define for that
	o added dependency on version.h and patchlevel.h for f_util.c and f_save.c to
	  Imakefile
	o In imperial fractional scale mode, if the user scale factor wasn't 1.0, xfig
	  would switch to decimal mode.  This has been fixed to remain in fractional mode.
	o Added condition for GLIBC to not declare srandom(int)
	o Better resizing of message popup panel
	o Map of Spain included Portugal. From Eugen Dedu.
	o Double-clicking on either style or family would crash xfig
	o Export/Print grid units were not reset when loading Fig file of different units
	o When converting empty export/print grid units to fractional inches would make 0/2
	o Escaped hyphens in man page
	  From Roland Rosendfeld
	o When exporting to all three: PostScript, PDF and TeX, incorrectly generated
	  PostScript and PDF that included LaTeX-only (special) text
	o Bug when doing Save As to a shorter filename - would corrupt name sometimes
	o Note about 450 pixels/cm didn't make it from the FORMAT3.1 file to FORMAT3.2
	o Print command was using -P instead of -d for lp
	o On Cygwin, needed to double-escape PRINTER environment when backslashes in name
	o w_library.c had incompatible poiner type in call to ScanLibraryDirectory
	o Not enough characters allocated for ruler inch/cm indicators.  Would cause segfault
	  on zooming out because of longer ruler text, e.g. -10210cm

Changes to Transfig/fig2dev

Patchlevel 5c (Jan 4, 2010)

BUGS FIXED:
        o transfig command was hardwired for "tex" for "make all" directive and          
            removing files with "make clean" directive in creating Makefile
-------------------------------------
Patchlevel 5b (Jun 2, 2009)
NEW FEATURES:
        o -a option added to PostScript and PICTeX languages to NOT include user's
          login name in output
        o Gerber (RS-247-X for CAD drawings for printed circuits) export language 
           from Edward Grace

Patchlevel 5a (Jun 1, 2009)

NEW FEATURES:
	o 22 new arrowhead types
	o HTML map now produces reference to .png file instead of .gif

BUGS FIXED:
	o CreationDate in pictex output was either wrong or caused segfault
	o bugs fixed in SVG Driver:
	  - blue component of shaded colors was always zero
	  - line protruding beyond arrowhead on long arrows
	  - wrong position of back arrowhead on double-headed arrows
	  - fill patterns either missing or using incorrect linewidth
	  - lowercase greek phi did not match its X11 counterpart
	  from Martin Kroeker
	o dubious printf(j++,j++) in MP driver
	o missing #includes in MP driver
	o added !defined(__FreeBSD) to fig2dev.h def for sys_nerr and errno
	  From Eric Scott
	o added -quiet options to giftopnm and ppmtopcs in reading GIF files
	  From Eric Scott
	o Typo in LaTeX driver when generating arc-box. "iut" should be "put"
	o extraneous stroke:black in svg header removed along with stroke color
	  for text, since the text fill color does the whole job
	o fig2dev produces more correctly structured PostScript.  Files get printed via
	  CUPS on PostScript printers.  When viewing a .ps-file in gv you can go to the
	  last page and back and to the last page again without getting PostScript errors.
	  From Ronald Lembcke
	o Renamed the macro \SetFigFont to \SetFigFontNFSS if NFSS is #defined to alleviate
	  some problems. From Roland Rosenfeld.
	o Grid in metric mode was incorrectly scaled
	o Removes any %EOF or %%EOF from imported EPS pictures before exporting.  
	  Also doesn't add %EOF when importing JPEG file now.
	o Missing call to get local time before converting to string in genpictex.c
