Try the free app "Bowtie". I missed that feature as well, after some research I discovered "Bowtie", it displays the current song/album/movie/show in a similar size iTunes 10 window that can be placed anywhere on your desktop. You can chose from a myriad of themes. I found the default theme the best (very Apple-esque). Double clicking the image flips it for access to controls. Supports iTunes, Spotify, Sonora, Rdio and Last.fm.

I used to be able to view album art (of the currently playing album) in full screen in 11.0.2. Unless I'm missing something, that ability is lost in 11.0.4 (I skipped 11.0.3).
Correct.
The maximum I get is a tiny 10x10cm mini album.
I did a report at Apple (http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html)
Just found how to resolve this: command-click the album art icon and voila--full-screen artwork (instead of the mini player) is displayed just like before. I feel better now.

Thanx a lot...those 10 cm picts was quite tiny on my 27' screen....
iTunes has been able to do this for as long as I've been using it, which I think is about seven years.
I am having some problems with this new version.
It keeps popping up for no reason, even though i have hidden or cmd+w the iTunes window, all of a sudden, and totally random, the iTunes window just unhide itself and when it does, it doesnt become the active window (although it looks like it is) and you cant do anything in iTunes, clicking on the window itself to try to make it the active window doesnt work at all. You cant even press the red button in the top left corner to hide it again and you cant cmd+tab to make iTunes the active window. The only thing that works is to click on the iTunes icon in the dock.
Oh, it popped up while i was writing this. (supercrappy video but yeah)

Me, too! I found that closing iTunes and reopening did the trick, but it was an inconvenience. Looking forward to fixing that when I get home tonight!
No, not seeing an "Improve TyPod's synching" bullet point in the current release notes. Not even one saying "Improve anyone's syncing", for that matter.
Actually, the release notes do say "This version of iTunes comes with several new features and improvements, including" (emphasis mine) and then some bullet points, which means there may be more features and improvements than those listed...
They could have skipped that as a bullet point because it only applied to TyPod.

And you know very well that that's just marketing speak. Or a canned text, if you will. Especially seeing that this particular version does not actually come with ANY new features, only one bug fix.
