Yes (although I don't understand why you qualified that with "just the
content changes").

Unstable is changed daily as and when developers decide to upload
packages.

Unstable packages propagate gradually into testing as described in
http://www.debian.org/devel/testing/. Every so often, we move the whole
of testing to stable, call that a new release, and create a new testing
under a new codename. After that, stable is only changed to fix critical
problems (security fixes and maybe a few other things).
Releases are announced on the debian-announce mailing list; the last was
in July 2002.
