Here is the only thing I've found. It's not a PDF file, but a URL that has
some info:
http://www.ema-eda.com/products/whatsnew_allegro.aspx?campaignID=20
Regards,
Austin
and, here is the info on what it says so it's archived if they remove the
link:

What's New in Cadence Allegro 16.0 Platform
Next-generation PCB design
Discover how the CadenceR AllegroR platform improves design efficiency and
designer productivity by dramatically shortening the learning curve in the
adoption of new solutions and enhancing ease-of-use.
The Allegro platform is the leading physical and electrical
constraint-driven PCB layout and interconnect system. Now, it has been
updated to include a new methodology for physical and spacing constraints
using the Allegro constraint management system, a common cockpit throughout
the entire design flow. Other updates include support for algorithmic
modeling and package parasitic, improved circuit simulation and statistical
analysis, seamless scalability with OrCAD products, enhanced collaboration,
and a new user interface for improved productivity and usability.
The Allegro 16.0 platform is now supported in Windows VistaT Enterprise.
Cadence Allegro PCB Editor
Usability enhancements within the display canvas and to the command
structure
Redesigned color/visibility GUI with global and shape transparency controls
Improved visibility, additional color support, smoother panning and zooming
Enhancements made to the underlying graphics system, based on OpenGL engine
Context-sensitive editing paradigm built on selecting database objects
first, followed by command
Interactive and automatic controls for component fanout (pin escaping)
Physical and spacing constraints incorporated in the Allegro constraint
management system
Mouse wheel support actions supported will be zoom in, zoom out, and change
active subclass of TOP to BOTTOM
Design Parameter Editor to setup, access, change and review most often used
parameters
Application modes which automatically selects actions based on the object
selected
Cadence Allegro PCB SI
Serial link design improvements (BER prediction, bathtub curve profiles,
channel compliance through statistical analysis)
S-Parameter DC extrapolation improvements
Support for analytical coupled via model during topology extraction
Improvements for post-layout analysis of source synchronous signals
(usability, comprehensive simulation, slew-rate measurements, de-rating
tables)
Estimated crosstalk table generation enhancements
Incorporating package and IC parasitics to improve accuracy without
sacrificing performance
Static IR drop analysis
Advanced constraints in constraint management system
Advanced constraints for managing advanced I/O interfaces, such as PCI
Express, DDR2, and SATA, using formulas, user-defined constraints, and
custom measurements
Component workbook in the Allegro constraint management system
Custom stimulus integration
Cadence Allegro System Architect GXL
Accelerated design of differential connectivity( connectivity, DRCs)
Enhanced schematic generation (cross-reference generated schematics, routing
preserve, block flattening)
Pin properties in connectivity pane
Cadence Allegro Design Publisher
Option of true color or B/W content rich PDF files
Integrated attribute form to view net and component attributes
Optimization for Adobe Reader 8.0
Ability to view in Design colors, but print in B/W
Cadence Allegro Design Entry HDL
Improved Design Navigation using Sheet Names
Controlled deployment using directive locking
Physical and spacing classes support in Constraint Manager
View physical Net names on canvas for plotting.
Documentation
Cadence Help Online Documentation System replaces CDSDoc, providing faster
invocation time, advanced search capabilities, and built-in viewing window
Note: The Cadence Allegro 16.0 upgrade is scheduled for release in June 2007
to all current Cadence Allegro customers with active maintenance contracts.
