Does Weblog Tools Collection use the Conditional Captcha plugin? It’s cut down spam considerably on all of my sites. Some still gets through, but it’s been a big help.
I’m against captcha myself. They’re a travesty to accessibility, and many common forms of captcha have already been broken by most bots via OCR software, no matter how crazy the captcha appears.
Conditional Captcha looks nice, as it’s only applied to those who are caught by Akismet, but we have only had one false-positive since I’ve been here, and our problem is actually the commenters who get past Akismet. There is unfortunately a very high level of human spam here.
You won’t be able to get Beta releases that way, though — unless you have a Beta already installed and there’s an upgrade available for it. The average user is only able to download stable versions in your Admin area.

How can I instal this beta release?
You’d have to download it from WordPress.org

If you’re not familiar with following links in an article to the download, you’d be better off starting with the stable release found on WordPress.org

If you’re not comfortable hosting your own site, you’d be even better off going to WordPress.com and get familiar with using it there

To Alex: when i login as administrator it’s always ask me about update WordPress software. So you can click on the message and follow step by step.

Eagerly waiting for the stable version of WordPress 3.4 version
Downloaded and installed on my development environment while I’m developing my theme. It’s nice to see that my theme works well on that beta version.
