Congratulations to the Electrum team on this huge milestone. I've been waiting excitedly for SegWit support, and you've delivered  Cheesy

Edit: Windows seems to block the installer binary because it's not signed

Website still not updated... All links still point to 2.9.3... and the page still says latest is V2.9.3.

Seems the binaries are on the download server here: https://download.electrum.org/3.0/

Not sure if they're final tho? Huh #useAtYourOwnRisk
Looks like they already fixed that. Check the website.
I believe it's already safe since they released it at the GitHub repo: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/releases/tag/3.0.0

I also had to upgrade my wallet file to a non backward compatible format. Make sure you have your seed saved somewhere to avoid any issues.

Also, looks like you can't view a address with segwit's native format at the blockchain.info explorer. Is it okay to use it?

I just created a new segwit wallet but my new address start with bc1*************** and not with 3*********
Why?

This is a native segwit standard (so called bech32 address using P2WPKH) but this is not yet supported by merchants or other wallets. The addresses starting with 3 are P2SH addresses. They can specify many things, including segwit embedded inside P2SH (P2SH-P2WPKH). I figured out how to create such a wallet in Electrum (use BIP39 seed and m/49'/1'/0' derivation path) but it may be better to wait for some more official tutorials.

Unfortunately, segwit wallets are not standardized yet and there might be problems with importing/exporting keys between wallets.
