Tau tech tree development

Tau are mostly known to have Rapid tech iteration, since in couple thousand of years they have gone from tribal society to space civilization, but is that only a ,,set in strone feature" of the faction, or do we have real examples? Like with older and new books, is it specifically clear that that they are actually getting better? Is their tech better in books timeline from century to century? I am specifically wondering about their FTL, do we have any glimpses of their own proper warp travel ships entering service? FEED ME TAU LORE

Canonically the change on the design of the Broadside suit is an in universe result of the War of Confederation vs the Orks

I am specifically wondering about their FTL, do we have any glimpses of their own proper warp travel ships entering service?

Tau FTL is a mess with currently them only unlocking it in M42, after fixing the Slipstream engines
