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.
