It was built from CVS as it stood on the day the virtual machine was built.
That means you can update it fairly easily.

See 

http://www.xastir.org/wiki/index.php/HowTo:VMware#Updating_xastir

for instructions on how to update Xastir from CVS in the VM.  This will bring
you up-to-date in just a few commands.
