Point taken: we indeed should have documented the changes in a more prominent
location. I think Amber developers had internally stopped using formatted
output files for so long that we failed to appreciate how many workflows
relied on the original behavior.
Since many users are still in the process of converting to AmberTools16, I'll
add a "changelog"-like explanation to the web page to try to minimize the
"surpise" factor for others.
