When upgrading from v3.0.6 to v3.1.1 to the desktop version there were no problems but when I upgraded the server I got some problems because I have some custom code in a separate file which updates the database with addresses and balances. Even though the Electrum upgrade went fine I had to downgrade and re-install v3.0.6. Once downgraded I executed the custom code and all is working properly to update the database again.
To clarify, the Electrum upgrades are great and work perfect from what I can see. I will continue to use v3.1.1 on my desktop and v3.0.6 on the server until I workout how to adjust my custom code to make it work alongside the upgrade.
Got to say Electrum is fantastic. The fact you can get a server running Electrum without the need to sync a massive blockchain makes life so much easier. Bitcoin but simplified. A special thanks go to Abdussamad for his advice and pointers in the run up to me downloading and testing it.

Maybe better to stick with 3.0.6 for a few weeks or months which would allow for issues to be found and fixed in newer versions
If everyone did that no issues would be found and fixed!
Point taken. I will upgrade the desktop and server versions today.

Who could explain what the following means? Since nothing is supposed to leave the device in the first place.
It isn't that "nothing" leaves the hardware wallet... it's that PRIVATE KEYS never leave the hardware wallet...Quote
Watching-only wallets and hardware wallets can be encrypted.
When you use your HW (Trezor or Ledger Nano S etc) with Electrum, Electrum will read the "xpub" from the device and create a watching only wallet on your PC. Prior to this update, there was no way to password protect this wallet file (or ANY watching-only wallet). Thus anyone could copy your wallet file (or start Electrum on your PC) and, while they could not spend your coins, they could see the complete contents, addresses and transaction history etc.
Now, you can encrypt the entire wallet file on disk (like standard wallet files), so that it cannot be opened and viewed without the device connected. In my opinion, this is a handy feature!

It's probably about this:Quote
Watching-only wallets and hardware wallets can be encrypted.
"TREZOR wallets are stored in plaintext, with no option to encrypt. This means full public keys are exposed, along with address lists."

I have a MAC, is it recommended to update to 3.1.0.?
whenever there is a new version out, you can always go to the Release Note file on Electrum's github repository here: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/master/RELEASE-NOTES and see what has been changed.
unless it is a serious buy/vulnerability fix (like 3.0.4 and 3.0.5) there is no rush in updating to the new version right away specially if you are not using Electrum to send bitcoin out every single day.
but remember that new versions are always improving the wallet software and most of them are fixing some small bugs which you may encounter if you stick to the older version still.
yes

The mempool fee estimation option is only available on certain servers. Try changing the server you are connected to.
I tried some different servers and still can't use the mempool fee estimation option.I'm told in #electrum that this is due to a bug which has been fixed in git master. The fix will be in the next release of electrum.
I tried this Portable electrum 3.1 latest version just now, but result fatal error in the first time and it creates a file with .pkg extension (I couldn't find the file where) but in the 2nd time I open it again and it works, but my kaspersky antivirus detected that this latest version is not safe. I know its false positive. However, safety must be first.
3.0.6 will be still the best version as of now for me. .
Why not stay with 3.0.6 version of electrum. and check if you can estimate the fee viewing your transaction before you hit send.
For me its working fine when checking the fee estimation by viewing the transaction before hitting send.

Kaspersky is a malware from Russia Government and you shouldn't use that.
Btw use Linux instead of Windows for Bitcoins.
Remember what happened last few months about hacking electrum 3.0 that they can request RPC command to retrieve seed phrase or private keys.
I just wanted to keep my funds safe from time to time until they found suspicious in 3.0.6 version or if the 3.1 announced that its safe or until i found a good review then I'll be willing to upgrade to the latest version..

Wow, awesome new update!
So much new stuff that would have made my life a lot easier had it come out a week ago, haha. Loving the QR code scanner for windows, sorting by column, being able to directly set sat/byte when sending, filtering, encrypting of offline and HW wallets... just wow!
Great job devs, thank you and please keep up the great work
