At what pace archlinux-*-x86_64.iso is updated, why Zsh & ho it's limi

Hi

I come from Debian so I'm familiar with it but I'm new to Arch Linux.

At what pace archlinux-*-x86_64.iso is updated? Every month?

archlinux-2025.01.01-x86_64.iso uses Zsh, why? Why not Bash?

We can list all the commands of the .iso on Zsh pressing ! Tab Tab Tab. But how to limit the output, to scroll down?
Bash, press Tab Tab y, it's limited by --More--, then we can scroll down by pressing Space.

Thanks.

Update:
The answer of the 3rd question is ! Tab Tab Space Tab (like a cheat code of a video game lol, found by fiddling).

Usually at the top of each month (looking into the release history would have indicated that?) and because it's what the cool kids use. Did you btw. try to run "bash"?
nb. that Arch is a rolling release distro - you download the install iso once, install the system and then frequently udpate it when you've the time for it.
You do NOT download the install iso every month and re-install arch or update using it os something like that.
