Well, stable is called stable for one reason!

But I think there have been updates, only as little as possible.
We don't go about adding packages/updates to stable just becase
a new version was released, we only do it to fix serious bugs.

(Recently the samba bug for example, so the new samba package apparently
already is in updates (or whatever the direectory is called)).

Maybe you didn't have any of packages installed that were
updated (look at the changelog to see what changed).

If you want new packages, go to "unstable" (and check out the libc6
update FAQ frequently posted to debian-user). Note that problems
with "unstable" should ideally be posted to debian-devel (an open list).
