Some of the options mentioned in the OP are still available for me, like playlist dividers, clicking a song still takes me to the album, song titles and artists still appear on the task bar, the ability to save entire albums in 'My Music, and sorting my playlists by artists. And I'm fairly positive I've got the last update. But maybe it's because I have premium?
Anyway, I'm quite happy with the new update, because Spotify Connect also works on multiply computers now. The only thing that annoys me is that the desktop app seems to be quite slow in general.
You can remove the friend feed in view and make the album cover bigger. I think it's fine now but sometimes it glitches and plays different songs then from what i click on.
