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.
