the xfig.org site is not functional any more. Xfig is now hosted enirely here on sourceforge.
The reason is that as of Dezember, 2014, the maintainance of xfig passed over to me. The old team, however, had the responsabilities split up in (i) the maintainance of the code and (ii) the hosting on the web site. While I am now fully responsible for the source code, the xfig.org domain is not (yet) registered with me. The transfer of the domain name is one of the points on the agenda.
Do you have any suggestions for the manual pages? I could try to host them here on sourceforge.

Thank you for answering quickly and apologies for not answering quickly myself :-)
I see xfig.org now points here and to the documentation, great! Is "the old team" faring well? I've bugged Brian several times in the past and he always answered swiftly & kindly.
Happy new year to you and to XFig!

thanks for your wishes. Regarding Brian, I had contact a few times when taking over the maintainance of xfig. I believe, he is doing well, at least I do not know anything to the contrary. I believe, a lot of people are happy that xfig is still around, and was cared for and maintained for such a long time. Stay tuned to xfig, and check whether the new features, such as export to the pict2e or tikz macro language for TeX/LaTeX, contribute to the value of xfig. The documentation, however, currently lags sadly behind.
Yours,
Thomas

Hi,
I just found this page via Wikipedia. I was looking for xfig.org and the XFig manual pages...
What happened?

Xfig is not able to import eps files for annotation. It gives the
message:
EPS object read OK, but no preview bitmap found/generated
Can this be rectified?
