Not really, just bugfixes.  See Changelog below.

boot-floppies (2.2.20) stable; urgency=low

  * Herbert Xu <herbert@debian.org>:
    - alpha: Use kernel 2.2.18pre21.

 -- Herbert Xu <herbert@debian.org>  Sat, 25 Nov 2000 15:14:45 +1100

boot-floppies (2.2.19) stable; urgency=low

  * PowerPC fixes:
    - Update kernel version to 2.2.18pre21
    - Fix the miBoot command line options not to try to force atyfb
      (should fix color issues on some mach64 cards)
    - Create /dev/nvram on the root disk
    - Add nvsetenv and ofpath, as well as fixing the paths for yaboot
    - No longer include System.map on the HFS (powermac) boot floppy
      (there isn't enough room with the new kernels)
    - en/dbootstrap.sgml updates from Ethan Benson to match the new ybin
    - Bail out earlier in the boot floppy creation process if we can't do
      it on this architecture
    - Make CHRP rescue.bin be DOS formatted.  Perhaps the same thing
      needs done to PReP - can PReP even boot FAT images?
    - Populate /dev/input in the base tarball - adbmouse and friends no
      longer work with the new kernels.
  * Build with packages from proposed-updates:
    - ncurses 5.0-6.0potato1
    - modutils 2.3.11-13.1
    - dpkg 1.6.15.2 (sparc only)
    - kernel 2.2.18pre21 / pcmcia 3.1.22-0.1* (all relevant flavors)

boot-floppies (2.2.18) stable; urgency=low

  * build with Debian 2.2r1 plus updates (closes: Bug#77459)
  * Adam Di Carlo:
    - i386 and sparc use kernel 2.2.18pre21
      (closes: Bug#77425)
    - Makefiles: clean is a bit cleaner
    - release.sh (i386): also put kernel configs in TOP/<flavor> (hey,
      it's a small file); don't leave stranded release/kernel-config file,
      put it in the bf-common tarball 
    - rootdisk.sh: add pcd0 device mknod (closes: Bug#74322), which
      MAKEDEV doesn't know about; add gscd and cm206cd devices; remove
      some hacks on device creation due to bugs fixed in MAKEDEV
    - dbootstrap: quiet bootarg makes more things shut up; disable the
      check for root filesystem being on extended partition while LILO is
      going on the MBR, because LILO supports this now (closes: Bug#64823);
      add new fullscreen_execlog utility function
    - debian/control: add Build-Depends and Build-Depends-Indep 
      (closes: Bug#70387); remove required package from depends
    - documentation: fix links to dselect-beginner (closes: Bug#72870);
      add a section in the first chapter talking about where to get Debian
      (closes: Bug#71532); other corrections (closes: Bug#70871); fix
      linux history link (closes: Bug#76408); enable Polish and Russian
      documentation now that newer debiandoc-sgml is in Potato; give
      example TFTP file name on SPARC (closes: Bug#40775); mention
      problems with booting from IPX (closes: Bug#49172); when reporting
      bugs on i386, you must report the flavor
  * Josip Rodin:
    - documentation: update non-US package numbers
  * Eric VanBuggenhaut: French updates
  * Marcin Owsiany <porridge@pandora.info.bielsko.pl>:
    - Polish updates
    - documentation/doc-check script added to help translators stay
      up-to-date
    - LANGUAGE_CHOOSER integration (closes: Bug#31865) detailed
      descriptions follow

      NOTE: i18n integration is not quite complete, but it is very very
            close; it has specifically been kept out of the mainline
            version due to some bugs which are expected to be fixed shortly

    - moved bf-utf from its module to utilities, modified relevant files
      accordingly
    - Makefile: added conditional build time depends on libpng2-dev
      and libpopt-dev
    - rootdisk.sh: uses LANGUAGE_CHOOSER for compact and idepci i386 flavors,
      in which case it: uses more blocks, adds  fb0 ptyp ptyq ptyr ptys
      devices, includes a font for bterm, includes a wrapper 'udbootstrap'
      and modifies inittab accordingly, includes libutf8_plug.so, bterm,
      all messages files, lc-enabled dbootstrap
      removed redundand '$' from awk invocations
    - utilities/bogl/Makefile: added bterm's font reduction to build process
    - utilitise/dbootstrap/Makefile: added rules necessary for creation of
      'dbootstrap-lc' - a language-chooser enabled dbootstrap, added configure
      runs to generation of libnewt and libslang
    - utilities/dbootstrap/po/Makefile: build both normal and utf messages
      files by default
    - added removal of necessary files to clean rules
  * Gleydson Mazioli da Silva: Portuguese updates
