+Move getEntry to getEntryBySlug
+
+This change moves `getEntry` to `getEntryBySlug` and accepts a slug rather than an id.
+
+In order to improve support in `[id].astro` routes, particularly in SSR where you do not know what the id of a collection is. Using `getEntryBySlug` instead allows you to map the `[id]` param in your route to the entry. You can use it like this:
+
+```astro
+---
+import { getEntryBySlug } from 'astro:content';
+
+const entry = await getEntryBySlug('docs', Astro.params.id);
+
+if(!entry) {
+  return new Response(null, {
+    status: 404
+  });
+}
+---
+<!-- You have an entry! Use it! -->
+```
