Xfm 1.5.4 is only bugfix and little improvements to the programm calling code.

Xfm 1.5.3 is only bugfix and mouse wheel event support

Xfm 1.5.2 is some code clean up and some little things:
* add more icons and symlinks (.iso files and new openoffice names)
* trim filenames in icon view when too long
* duplicate several dialogs to have one per top-level window, so that
  icewm does bring them to foreground uppon popup, even when the
  window group leader is not visible.

Xfm 1.5.1 was only bugfixes

Xfm 1.5 has got quite some changes do previous versions:

* The build system is now autotools based.
* The config is mostly replaced with a new system:
  - file types and their actions are now determined using the
    system magic, mime.types and mailcap files, which are included
    from xfm specific variants of those files.
  - icons are determined from file-type by appending xfm and looking
    in the directories specified in the Xfm.iconPath resources.
  - renamed all config files to make sure the old versions some old
    versions copied to all home directories do not cause problems.
* due to different changed, old AppDefaults no longer work, you need
  a new one shipped by this package.
* many little changes and modifications to the source of almost all
  parts to make it behave more like I want it to behave, including
  but not limited to:
  - many changes to make it compile more cleanly or change some
    things in the code I deem ugly.
  - log window only show output of programs started, not xfm itself
    to avoid race conditions.
  - maxMagicRead resource defaulting to 1024 to limit magic buffer.
  - limit file window to 32000 vertically to avoid bugs in some
    graphic drivers.
  - remove kwm workarounds so that cursor can be updated
  - built-in handling of linked and compressed files, the icon
    for those is made from small icons.
  - ...
* the default config and the manpage references might be a bit
  too Debian specific.

For more information there also is the Changelog file.
