Question on DHCPv6 address assignment

Folks,
I'm wondering about the following two aspects of different DHCPv6
implementations out there:
1) What's the pattern with which addresses are generated/assigned? Are
they sequential (fc00::1, fc00::2, etc.)? Random? Something else?
2) What about their stability? Is there any intent/mechanism for them to
be as "stable" as possible? Or is it usual for hosts to get a new
address for each lease?
P.S.: I understand this is likely to vary from one implementation to
another... so please describe which implementation/version you're
referring to.
Thanks!
Best regards,
