Question- Basics of Diesel Timing

I want to ask a real simple question- does a Diesel engine's timing remain constant in terms of degrees throughout its RPM range, or does it change as RPM's increase and decrease?

I know that on a gas engine, the distributor timing angle advances with RPM as the timing plate is altered by centrifugal force and vacuum assist. Does the same principle hold true for Diesels?
