We're excited to release one of our most requested features with Next.js 12.1:

- **On-demand ISR (Beta): **Revalidate pages using `getStaticProps` instantly.
- **Expanded Support for SWC: **`styled-components`, Relay, and more.
- **`next/jest`**** Plugin: **Zero-configuration Jest support using SWC.
- **Faster Minification with SWC (RC): **7x faster minification than Terser.
- **Self-Hosting Improvements: **~80% smaller Docker images.
- **React 18 & Server Components (Alpha): **Improved stability and support.
- **Developer Survey: **Help us improve Next.js with your feedback.

Starting today when deployed to Vercel, on-demand revalidation propagates globally in ~300ms when pushing pages to the edge. [Read the 12.1 blog post](https://nextjs.org/blog/next-12-1) to learn more.
