I think this change was intentional. The idea was that
it made it easier to use ncdump -k in scripts to determine
the type of a file.
e.g.
KIND=`ncdump -k $file`
if test "x$KIND" = xnetcdf-4 ; then ... else ... fi
> In version 4.4.1.1, "ncdump -k file.nc" printed a string ending with a
> newline.
> In 4.6.1 and 4.6.2, it does not. I compared the source for 4.4.1.1 and 4.6.2.

> The lines:
>
> if (kind_out) {
> printf ("%s\n", kind_string(formatting_specs.nc_kind));
> } else if (kind_out_extended) {
> printf ("%s\n",
> kind_string_extended(formatting_specs.nc_extended,formatting_specs.nc_mode));
> } else {
