A warning to any plugin users out there ... carefully consider
installing Update 3 (16.0.3).
In Adobe's wisdom, this update apparently uses a new FDK version.
Existing plugins may not be fully compatible with this update until
recompiled with the new FDK. Typically you expect this sort of thing
between releases, but now you need to fully investigate mid-release
updates to make sure your environment won't be disabled, or your content
deleted.
If you're using DITA-FMx, opening and saving an XML file will result in
the deletion of the contents of that file! The XML structure will
remain, but the contents will be gone. When you open a file, you'll
notice that the words are missing. Don't save the file. :-o
It looks like you can roll back to 16.0.2 if needed. Download here ..
