The news release you cite goes on to say "The new pages added to the collection in December 2009 will be an exclusive preview available to UK Further and Higher Education institutions". Do you have evidence that they are now available to the rest of us? I'm not getting any hits in the new titles.
Yes. This update does not appear to be available in the non-academic version yet.
