All information on the site is for xdebug 1.3 actually, version 2 as
some great new things which aren't on the site (in random order):

additional information for function traces:
- return values for functions
- support for PHP 5's new OO things
- memory deltas

added support for handling exceptions in the remote debuggers

new profiler code, which is much more accurate (and flexible)

a new remote debugging protocol, which is also language dependent
(http://xdebug.org/docs-dbgp.php). That means that the same protocol is
also supported by ActiveState's debuggers for perl, python, tcl and
xslt.

new functions:
xdebug_peak_memory_usage

changed functions:
- the tracing has changed for better performance

local variables are shown on errors now

If you have any questions, feel free to ask (but keep CC-ing the
mailinglist please).

regards,
derick
