Well, it has only been a week or so since I released xfig 2.1.5, but there
were some pretty major bugs so I have just released version 2.1.6.
TransFig has also been updated because of bugs.  I will follow with a separate
announcement for it.

Here is the announcement:

xfig 2.1.6 is available on export.lcs.mit.edu in /contrib/R5fixes/xfig-patches/
xfig.2.1.6.tar.Z.  Be sure to set binary mode when transferring.

There is also an incremental patch file to convert from 2.1.5 to 2.1.6.  This
is in the file /contrib/R5fixes/xfig-patches/2.1.5.to.2.1.6.Z.  You may use
the 'patch' program to automatically apply the changes to your 2.1.5 release.

You also need to get TransFig version 2.1.6.  TransFig contains the post-
processor needed by xfig to convert fig files to one of several output formats,
such as PostScript, pic, LaTeX etc.  The TransFig package is in the file
/contrib/transfig.2.1.6.tar.Z.

Xfig is a menu-driven tool that allows the user to draw and manipulate objects
interactively in an X window.  The resulting pictures can be saved, printed
on postscript printers or converted to a variety of other formats (e.g. to
allow inclusion in LaTeX documents).

Following is a description of the CHANGES for 2.1.6.
