Just one question. Many SVN builds are made from an official version.
Like r5769, r5770...
Is r5770 a testbuild of the last stable build or is it based on r5769? So that every new revision which comes after the last stable version is it own independent version? Or has the last revision every improvement of all the revision in it?

I still don't get it :-<
Are all changes, listed on the development site, present in the last build available?

You're on the right track, Yosuke30. Read up on that revision control wiki and you'll have your answers.

Probably yes. The SVN builds include all of the previous changes up to the date of the build. Sometimes, however, something changes one way (i.e. get fixed) and few days later it breaks again due to another change. So obviously it can't be both fixed and broken on the same time, at which case, assuming there wasn't another change later which fixed it again, it would be broken at the SVN build.
Look at SVN builds as the latest accumulation of all the development which has been done until the date of the build, which may also include things which got broken along the way ("regressions").
When we release an "official" build, like the 1.0 release etc, then we try to make sure it has as little regressions as possible (i.e. fix the ones we know about and try not to introduce new ones towards the release).
With normal daily developments (SVN builds), while no one wants to introduce new bugs, they do sometimes creep in.
