You picked a good point to stop. I don't think there's much more that can be added that hasn't already been added.
I just suggest you backup your source code to keep it safe.

Wew, so I don't know where to start, I'm not good with long speech, but I think it's the moment for me to stop the development of this fork of freeShop. (Please don't throw me rotten tomatoes)

So, I'm stopping here mainly because I will not have enough time to take care of freeShop, maybe some of you don't know that, but I'm effectively minor and I still have to go to school (yay!), the fact is that I have important exams this year, and the next year by extension, so I can't study correctly with a big community to manage (like the one freeShop have) and simply the app which is a real time-eater for me (I'm in holidays, and I was working on it entire days and nights, so I can't tell you how it will be when I will go back to school).

Another main reason is my motivation, I'm not really motivated anymore to maintain the app, because I think that I added a lot of features and I don't have the "inspiration" and the will to add some features. The first month, I was enjoying developing the app, and the community using it was awesome, if I can remember you something, it's that I just wanted to add a few things that community wanted to see in freeShop but unfortunately can't be in freeShop because of what happened to the original dev. As I already said, a lot of thing that community wanted was implemented, much more than I expected, and I reached the goal of this fork which was, I repeat it, just to implement a few things that community wanted (sleep mode downloads, storage informations, themes...)

Third thing, I don't want to say a lot of thing about this, but it's about UnbanMii, the app that caused a drama in the entire world, to be short, and maybe you don't know, but I worked a little bit on it, and, oh god, all the drama that caused this app because of an error, and some people are stubborn and don't want to hear the truth, this was a little bit the "decisive blow".

I take the opportunity of the 3.1.3 release to say that it will be my last update (maybe I will do some commits on my notabug, but nothing that will add amazing things). And if you're asking, yes, it's been a long time since I'm thinking about stop, during the dev of 3.1.2 in fact, so it's a Thoughtful decision™.
Oh, and yes, I would like to thank everybody that I encountered in this journey, a lot of really good people, and everybody in the freeShop discord, I really enjoyed being in their company.
So, I hope you understood why I'm not able to maintain this software anymore (pleeease, don't slap me), and, erm, goodbye! (I hope you understood my wall of text, I'm not really good with english, so imagine me writing all this stuff :P)

P.S. If someone want to pick up the project, then feel free to fork it!
Will there still be games added? That's the biggie I would like answered.

And I'm sure there will be SOMEBODY to pick up where you left off...

Thank you for your contributions!

it's been great working with you! :)
I hope someone will pick the project up, but if not, I just hope someone will keep the cache updated.

Well, It's kinda sad to see you part ways with this project, specially because you brought so many amazing things to the table, but yeah, there isn't much more to add to this other than improving performance (which IMO is top notch right now) I wish you the best of luck and I hope to see your skills being used in other projects :3, I'd pick up on this one, but I'm just learning to code and I don't have much time right now n_n'

Installed a bunch of titles through 3.1.3 today, and a lot of them crash on launch with this arm11 error: "prefetch abort (svcBreak)"

Never had this problem prior to 3.1.3. I'm on a new2dsxl. Anyone else seeing this behavior?

Same here, tried with different games on two consoles, and every game crashed on startup.
Seems like the latest release of Freeshop is not compatible with Boot9Strap or something?

You get the error if you are missing the seed for the game. I had the same ARM11 error when launching a game and figured out that was because I didn't have the seed required to decrypt the game. You can use SEEDChecker to grab the seed(000XXXXXXXXXXXXX.dat) for the game, place it in sdmc:/fbi/seed/, then go to FBI->TItles select the game and select import seed. Do that for each game having problems.

Edit: I just tried this method myself with Kirby's Blowout Blast(which crashed on launch with the Arm11 error) and confirmed working.
For some reason Freeshop doesn't seem to automatically import seed anymore for some games.

I used FBI to find the dl'd game in the title menu, then imported the seed for the title crashing. It seems the current version of the shop is having a problem dl'ing seeds.

Now, that's what worked for me cause Mononoke Forest was crashing. Your mileage may vary.

That sounds like an issue with Rosalina (Luma3DS) and not freeShop.
Try the Legacy build
Using ReiNAND, I haven't had a single game downloaded from freeShop crash on me.

It is not a luma problem. It is that new 3.1.3 version doesnt import seed correctly so you must use fbi to import seed. If you dont do this, game doesnt starts. Please, check this.
