Clans: you choose who gets in

• The leader picks the clan's access: Open (you join instantly), By request (you ask to join with a message and the leader or an officer accepts you) or Invitation only.
• The leader can write a clan presentation.
• No clan yet? The new clan finder shows the clans looking for members, with a Join or Request button.
• The answer to your request arrives in your Mailbox.

Existing clans are now By request. The leader can change it in Clan settings.

New: Friends

• Add friends from their Trainer card or by typing their name.
• The Friends screen, next to the Mailbox, shows who's online and lets you invite them to your clan.
• It's the groundwork for the co-op mode coming later.

Fixes

• Stuck bosses: freezing, sleeping or stunning nonstop could leave a boss (like Mew) frozen in place for the whole fight. Now, after 2 s locked down, it ==breaks free== and ignores those statuses for 5 s.
• Meowth's shop: with lots of items, the Exit button went off screen on some phones. The window now scrolls and Exit is always visible.
• Lab: the "items to unlock" notice only counts the ones you can afford with your Stardust.
• Blank screen: fixed the bug that kept the game from loading for some players right after an update.
