No, it is not rolling.  Major new releases are usually at least a couple 
of years apart, but it is under continuous development, and "Security 
fixes" are released often for whatever package needs one.

There is another "branch" of Slackware called "Current" which gets the 
ongoing development new packages.  There is also a "Debian apt-ish" 
package available called SlackPackage, which allows you to keep up with 
the Current branch with mostly-automated updates.  Same idea as Debian 
"unstable".  I haven't seriously kept up with Current, as it does tend 
to have some breakage, and is more work than I'm interested in doing.
