Features
RSC cache preloading
Preload data in React Server Components and pass it to client hooks through SWRConfig. This avoids a duplicate initial browser request and hydrates the result into the SWR cache. The new cacheData option is experimental.

New unload() API
Use unload() to clear the entire SWR cache and discard in-flight requests and mutations. Mounted hooks revalidate by default, or you can pass { revalidate: false } to keep the cache empty until the next revalidation.
