Since there are some significant changes between 1.8 and 2.0, perhaps  
the manual might have a special section listing them. Searching the  
1.9 GIT manual for "1.8" indicates that this information is currently  
mainly given in a few footnotes.

In the case Guile is used as a library (as in LilyPond), their users  
might consult the manual at need, but I suspect not the NEWS file.
