Report Distribution in BW3.5

Hi,

Can anyone please tell me if there has been any additions/enhancements to the report distribution function in BW. I went though the preliminary features of 3.5 and did not find anything about this topic.

Also the feature list talks about using JDBC to connect to other relational databses.. would this feature be smilar to using DBconnect currently ?? The questions really is, do we still get to use infopackages to load data from these databases.
