   - Implement ClanHallSiege#checkSide/checkSides (was only returning true).
   - Delete Castle#getDistance, ZoneForm#getDistanceToZone, ClanHallManager#getNearestSiegableHall ("approximative" zone check got no sense - the only viable checks are about if you are "in" or "out" a zone).
   - Rework "//zone show all" to show ZoneTypes in the Player's neighborhood.
   - Add WorldObject#getZones, delete ZoneManager#getZones (new version is more versatile/shorter coded).

   - Delete Player#isInSieagableHallSiege concept (unused).
   - Rework IAcceptFilter#accept to handle Socket instead of SocketChannel (fix 2 potential ressource leaks).
   - Use Point2D / Location instead of int[] for commons.geometry.
   - Implement "//show door", to visualize door coords in the Player's neighborhood.
   - Implement canBeHealed to harmonize checks between Heal/ManaHeal and their "over time" versions.
   - Cleanup OlympiadManager (use values() instead of Entry, use of computeIfAbsent, and don't make strange operations over Lists).

Hello everyone,

since the cycle 39 is currently ended, and rev 400 will "virtually" never be reached (at least as shared diff), I'm cleaning up customers.

Previous customers WILL HAVE TO PAY the 100€ initial fee. Two exceptions exist, though :

Following previous customers, while still bound to pay the initial 100€,  are rewarded with free months, due to their past contribution into bug report section :
- ErHard : 3 free months
- Shyr : 6 free months
- Denzel : 1 free month

Following previous customers are EXEMPTED to pay the initial fee, due to their all-time donations (>= 50€). This offer exists for the incoming month (July 2021), but if you don't make a valid monthly fee, you will be in the "re-join" case.

Following previous customers which still have "credits" (that's 11 ppl actually who paid for 400+) can either ask me a refund for the sum of cycles which weren't delivered, or use that amount to pay part of the initial fee. If such customer asks a refund and is in the previous list, he won't be able to claim his free initial free. The sum is the possible claim.
- Alesha : 80€
- Denzel : 10€
- ExTrEmEDwarf : 10€
- Ixasou : 30€
- Mfg_1984 : 70€

Changeset 400 (2376)

Bugfixes, Organization

Bugfixes
   - Fix NodeBuffer exhaustion. Ty Hasha.
   - Add missing CLAN_MEMBER_GRADUATED_FROM_ACADEMY message use. Ty Kable for report.
   - Fix a visual issue over movement (attacking while target is on PZ).

   - Fix following messages from effects :
      - S1_HAS_WORN_OFF and EFFECT_S1_DISAPPEARED are now used depending about effect left length time, and aren't called both anymore.
      - EFFECT_S1_DISAPPEARED is called if an added effect replaces an existing effect (equal or superior).
      - YOU_FEEL_S1_EFFECT is called on every effect application, and removed from skillhandlers and side systems.
   - Fix proper handling of long values into Config. Ty StinkyMadness for fix.
   - Allow offensive skill / attack over same clan/alliance under arenas. Ty Kable for report, Penacho for fix. Fix also few isInsideZone checks, where getActingPlayer() was tested instead of Playable (overriding Summon state).
   - Add missing getAttackSpeedMultiplier() over PetInfo. Ty stepforstep for report.
   - Fix //reload announcement. Ty Denzel for fix.
   - Clean target to avoid to get "ghost" target upon //recall. Ty RooT for fix.
   - Fix Q294 reward. Ty YulRun for report.
   
   
Organization
   - Added 9 missing NpcStringIds.
   - Extensive use of broadcastNpcShout.
   - Few SonarLint cleanup.
   - Few Clan method renames.
   - Delete ZoneForm#getDistanceToZone concept.

Big cleanup :

• Moved vladalien, bowling4soup from active developers to retired.
• Moved Sluger from active developer to Sidekick.
• Deleted "Outer Circle" membergroup (only Wreaper, from LU4 team, was part of it).
• Renamed "Supporter" to "Donator", and "Inner Circle" to "Supporter".
• Cleaned all existing "Supporters".

The concept evolved a little !

New freemium rules will apply at the 40th cycle.

Following systems are still maintained internally and publically :
    - "Changeset" ("release" on Gitlab) : a compilation of bugfixes reaching a state of stability, based on my own self-appreciation.
    - "Cycle" : a compilation of 10 "changesets", generally associated to a main goal.

Supporter rank
    - "Customer" rank will be now known as "Supporter". They will still benefit custom section from forums.
    - "Supporter" rank will be way more pricey : a one-time fee will be asked, then a monthly fee will be required to maintain your supporter rank.
    - Supporters will be directly registered to the Git.
    - Issues will be migrated on Git issues tab. Forums won't hold any issues anymore.
    - No more diff patches / trunk shares over forums. Forums won't hold it anymore. Changesets / releases are still pickable from Git.

Public Git
    - Public version is still maintained, and is now old of 1 year and not 10-19 revisions.
    - Stability state isn't guaranteed. It is shared as a "demo", to see aCis progression.

Contribution
    - You still can contribute to the pack with bugfixes, or via the "lab monkey". Your contribution can eventually lead to rewards (the most obvious being, free monthly fee).
