There exists some feature comparisons, but none that apply exclusively for document management features. Therefore here is a summary of them.
Document View Threshold changes
Prior to 2016, a Document Library would have a limited view for 5000 items. This design practice still exists, but 2016 adds an automatic creation of Indexed Columns which prevents possible documents becoming inaccessible. All in all, the end-users shouldn't need to worry about this design rule anymore.
Increased file-size limit on uploads
Documented to be limitless, Microsoft's suggestion is to have files with a file-size of maximum 10 Gb uploaded due to possible performance issues.
Improved mobile access views
The new mobile access views support touch-screen document management.
Durable links
If a document's name changes, it can still be accessed by using the same durable link, assuming you have Office Web Apps with your installation.
Keyboard shortcuts for documents
- Alt+N = New
- Alt+E = Edit
- Alt+U = Upload
- etc.
Added announcements and callouts when working with documents
E.g. in document upload process.
Expanded support for special characters in file names
SharePoint has historically blocked file names that included the &, ~, {, and } characters, file names that contained a GUID, file names with leading dots, and file names longer than 128 characters. These restrictions are removed in SharePoint Server 2016 and are now available to use.
Restricted characters such as % and # are still not allowed in file names.
Previews for media content
Images and videos can be previewed by hovering over the file in a Document library
Support for open-office file formats
ODF formats allow non-Ms products to be used when working with documents.
Notes:
- I've excluded e.g. search improvement changes, as they apply for O365, and not for SharePoint on-premise
- Also excluded OneDrive-specific changes, such as an added feature for deletion policy and folder-view improvements
