Bug fixes

Content packs updated, bulk of broken exercises fixed and all languages rebuilt (and should be re-downloaded), pay attention to a couple of known issues!
Allow logins during LOCKDOWN #5117
Remove RPI warning message about max number of concurrent downloads, there’s no longer a limit on small platforms #4982
Make ROOT_DATA_PATH consider the KALITE_DIR environment variable #5143

Content packs 1800 outdated questions (assessment items) inside exercises (English version) used to cause problems due to their widgets and have been removed - not only by KA Lite, but also on KhanAcademy.org. This does not affect the number of exercises and there are still 29,839 assessment items left, so it’s not a big concern! #5131

Please note that issues with content packs are not related to the software itself but are being fixed and updated along side our release.
