Yes. See here

You should consider updating your lazarus/fpc, because some database
bugs were fixed, new features were added and lazarus has now the
lazdatadesktop tool.

I don't know, what you mean with 'Project -> Settings' dialog.
Library paths can be set in /etc/fpc.cfg (under non windows, I don't
know, where this file is stored under windows, just search for fpc.cfg).
If you want to add the lib path only for one specific project you
can set the lib path in the Project -> Compiler Options. But beware,
this will only work on your machine, so the best place is /etc/fpc.cfg.

If you mean the latest development version, simply omit the revision
number. Under Linux you can simply use: svn up.
This might help
