WISE 5.4.1 is now available

[Hiroki Terashima]

Hi WISE developers and server administrators,

WISE 5.4.1 is now available for download from http://wise5.org. Many new features and improvements have been added since the 5.4 release based on feedback from our users and observations in classrooms. Notably, the Authoring Tool now looks and feels like the student and teacher tools, and you can author links to specific components instead of just steps. The drawing tool can import work from a previous Concept Map and set it as its background. And we have new Traditional Chinese and Greek translations from folks in Taiwan and Greece. You can read the full release notes here at https://github.com/WISE-Community/WISE/wiki/WISE-v5.5-Release-Notes.

Updated the node numbering for projects so that it handles numbering steps in a branch path better
