This release provides somewhere to hang Pi 5 test builds.

These builds require a kernel module and dtoverlay for Pi 5. See the setup guide here: https://github.com/jgarff/rpi_ws281x/wiki/Raspberry-Pi-5-Support

To install:

pip install https://github.com/rpi-ws281x/rpi-ws281x-python/releases/download/pi5-beta2/rpi_ws281x-6.0.0-cp311-cp311-linux_aarch64.whl

Note, if you install this in a virtualenv (you'll probably need to) then you will have to run with:

sudo --preserve-env PATH python3 example.py

This will preserve your virtual environment, but supply the necessary superuser permissions for running rpi_ws281x.

Feedback, issues, discussion -> #106

This release should fix the malloc(): invalid size (unsorted) issue.
