The Amber development team is pleased to announce the release of Amber16
and AmberTools16. These are significant updates from the the previous
releases; an overview of what is changed is available at:

Briefly, there are new force fields, improved workflows for system preparation
and analyis, and major updates to the sampling and free energy capabilities of
the pmemd program.
The Amber 2016 Reference Manual is avialable online, both for reference, and
