0.6.0

Seeds fall through the grass block they are collected from
Trapdoors cannot be crafted in survival
Placing a block over planted seeds destroys the seeds
Mobs still move when game is paused
Food doesn't regenerate as much health as it should (bread labeled "heals 2 and a half hearts heals only one, apples and raw meat heal one and soup and cooked meat heal only two).
Creepers spawn indoors.
The description for Stone Bricks in the crafting menu says "tile.stonebricksmooth: couldn't find desc"
When sleeping and your finger is moving above the torch, the flame particle will move awkwardly.
Creeper spawn ratio is high.
Bows have glitched textures sometimes for humans and skeletons.
Food animation for third person doesn't work
Explosions are silent (All you hear for creepers is "sssssss" and the creeper disappears)
Explosions usually does not destroy ground, only snow.
If one places a door on a torch, wheat, or other transparent blocks, the door is immediately destroyed but sometimes drops two doors upon destruction. It is possible to get infinite doors this way.
One can place a torch on the side of a fence, however, due to a lack of a surface to connect to, the torch appears to be placed on air or on the block next to the block the fence is on. A block update does not fix this, and the torch remains until either it or the fence is destroyed.
If you drop an axe and two different blocks, the axe symbol shows the infinity symbol instead of a number one after picked up. (other items have been tested and yes it is the same as the axe, and the item turns back to a number one once used again)
Swords do not lose durability when used on a mob, only when used to break blocks.
When the limit of blocks is reached, you can still craft it, but it won't give you anything.
When crafting a wooden door it says it requires four wooden planks and can be crafted without a crafting table, but on Minecraft for PC, it uses six wooden planks using crafting table.
Lava bug, it starts to spread fire all over your world without stopping. Also with lava bug, it allows water to be set on fire.(major bug)[18]
On rare occasions, charcoal will drop from coal ore instead of the usual coal. This is the only way to use a seemingly unusable torch recipe.
Cameras are very glitchy.

0.2.1 (Last Lite Version)
This is the last release for the Lite version of Minecraft Pocket Edition
Blocks now have the 'cracking' animation when you destroy them
The circle shown when breaking blocks is sharper
Bugs:
Enabling Split Touch mode once makes MCPE crash (without error message) on starting (old or new) world. Even uninstall/install cycle won't help. (Acer Iconia)
When flying above the height limit in third-person, your avatar disappears.
When underwater, you can't see the breaking animation
In creative, if you're playing in multiplayer and they go into lava or underwater and drown, they die.
In creative mode, flying above the height limit lets you walk on the edge of the world, on top of the block invisible bedrock found in the files of the game.
Sometimes in multiplayer, if you a put a block, it puts another block on top of the block you just put.
When someone dies in multiplayer, rarely they will be invisible and zombies will not attack the invisible player. It'll be dead by somethin invisible.
If you host a game, you will suffer from fall damage but others who join will not take damage when fell. Even if you join a game, you would not suffer but the host of the game will die from fall damage.
The outer circle while you're breaking a block (using normal controls, not split touch) usually disappears.
You can put cacti on any block as long as it has snow on top of it.[20]

February 11, 2012
Still Called 0.2.0 in the changelog
Bug Fixes:

0.2.0
iOS - February 17, 2012
Android - February 11, 2012
0.2.0
Survival Update
New Game Modes
Creative (All worlds created before alpha 0.2.0 will be in creative)
You can fly - Press the jump button twice to initiate flight. From there, double press and hold up/down to ascend/descend
Even though it is Survival, the user can still see the blocks as though s/he were Creative mode, but he cannot use them unless he has gathered some of this material.
This effectively works as the Inventory, but lacks to standard 2x2 crafting grid from the original inventory.
Some materials (Tools and anything that can not be naturally acquired) are in infinite stacks which is indicated by ∞ (infinity) symbols.
When an item you have 0 of is selected your fist is shown.
Added Hitpoints Bar same as computer version (health will slowly regenerate, similar to peaceful difficulty in the computer version).
Added Air Bar when under water (you can now drown and die)
Added Death with options to respawn or go to main menu.
Added a day and night cycle with zombies coming out at night.
When breaking materials, you can gather any material regardless of what tool is used.
For example, you can now break stone with your hand and receive cobblestone, but using a pickaxe is still faster.
To shear a sheep, you must touch and hold down on the screen, similar to breaking a block. If you do not, you will simply hurt the sheep and eventually kill it (8 hits).
Bugs:
When attempting to type in a seed, the virtual keyboard covers up the box you type the seed into and you cannot see what you are typing.
White wool is unobtainable.
There is no way to get stone blocks in Survival.
You can not see the fire when the zombies are burning in the day light.
You can hit mobs through glass.
You can not see fence gates when they are selected.
You can hit mobs through doors when looking through the window part of the door.
If you place a ladder on a block with a thin snow layer on it and no block behind it, it will be invisible, with its normal hitbox, until a block directly adjacent to it is updated. Then, the ladder will drop as a collectible item (lighting updates via torch do apply).
When killed by another player, items that weren't even obtained by the player will appear (like obsidian, etc.)
Fences are sometimes invisible when placed close to water
Game crashes when trying to create a new world on some phones.
Sometimes The forward button doesn't work on right handed mode.(Needs Confirmation)
Sometimes player can't pickup items.
The Trees that grow have a different Wood Block ID (oak) and color than the Wood blocks in your Inventory (pine), thus making it impossible to pick up oak logs.
Sugar Cane doesn't drop when smacked.
When you break the bottom block of a Cactus it only gives one Cactus block instead of all that were above it as well.
You cannot place torches on fences.
