WordPress 3.3 Beta 4 released

WordPress developers have released another beta of their next release.

WordPress 3.3 Beta 4 is now available as a free download for beta testers.

They can install it manually or using the special plugin that is available for installation on existing blogs.

The developers highlighted the changes in this latest beta release:

With all our major tickets closed, we are very close to a release candidate. In Beta 4 we’ve fixed a bunch of bugs, cleaned up the UI, added real text in some of the screens that still had placeholder text in Beta 3 (post-update screen, the Dashboard welcome area, new feature pointers), and generally tightened things up. We updated to jQuery 1.7.1 and addressed a LOT of bugs.

This could be the last beta before WordPress 3.3 shifts to release candidate stage!
