Correction: My badly titled post suggested this was the list of fixes rather than new features.
Unless the read-mes (Planning and Monitoring) are still being updated, there’s no real surprises in terms of new features in Service Pack 2 for PerformancePoint Server. More about the fixes in the Knowledge Base (KB958291 KB960815)

|
You can now use the Show Details action on PerformancePoint reports that use data that is stored in SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services.

|
You must install .NET Framework 2.0 before you install .NET Framework 3.5.
|
You can now use PerformancePoint Server with domains that have apostrophes in their names
|
In previous versions of PerformancePoint Server, when a domain name included an apostrophe, the configuration tool failed for both Planning Server and Monitoring Server.
|
Scorecard key performance indicator (KPI) queries are improved.
|
Timeout errors no longer occur with scorecard key performance indicators (KPIs) that use data that is stored in SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services.
|
Time Intelligence Post Formula filters now display the correct number of days for each month.
|
In previous versions of PerformancePoint Server, the calendar control for Time Intelligence Post Formula filters sometimes displayed 31 days for each month. This is no longer the case.
|
Time Intelligence filters now work on scorecard KPIs that use data that is stored in Analysis Services
|
In previous versions of PerformancePoint Server, some Time Intelligence expressions caused filters that were linked to KPIs to fail.
For example, when a compound expression such as (Day-7:Day-1) was used in a Time Intelligence Post Formula filter and that filter was linked to a KPI, an error message occurred. In PerformancePoint Server 2007 PS2, single and compound Time Intelligence expressions work with KPIs that use data that is stored in Analysis Services.
