Chi Versions Save

Hi everyone, thank you to all contributors + reviewers.

We present chi v5.0.12 which includes support for the new Go 1.22 mux routing features :)

Specifically, this release adds support for:

• Routing methods r.Handle("GET /users/{userID}", handler) and similarly in r.HandlerFunc with a very simple addition to chi, thank you @Spartan09 and @angelofallars for their work on the PRs to add support (https://github.com/go-chi/chi/pull/897, https://github.com/go-chi/chi/pull/901)
• Access url path parameters via request.PathValue("xyz") and request.PathValue("*") on *http.Request when using the chi router in Go 1.22+. Of course you may also use chi.URLParam(r, "xyz") and chi.URLParam(r, "*") – these are all equivalent now in Go 1.22+. Thank you @angelofallars for the PR (https://github.com/go-chi/chi/pull/901)
