Differences between SSRS 2005 and 2008

What the main differences between SQL Reporting Services 2005 and 2008 in terms of features? I read about 2008 has much better in scalability. How about the features? What's in SSRS 2008 but not 2005? Thanks!

I've just started this process, and one of the biggest issues I've found so far is the inability to authenticate non-domain users for the reports. SSRS 2008 doesn't use IIS as 2005 did.

Granted, I'm researching the answers to the same question, but what I've learned thus far:
2005 has the Table if you know the number of columns but a variable number of rows. 2005 has the Matrix if you will have a variable number of columns AND rows

2008 has a control called the "tablix" which appears to have the properties of both the 2005 table and matrix controls.

Other than that 1 main difference, I've only seen marketing buzzwords.

Good luck!
