Update: Apple has now released iTunes 10.4 which can be downloaded now via Software Update, of from Apple’s website.

Following the release of OS X Lion earlier today, Apple is set to drop an update to iTunes which will be 64-bit and will boast full-screen support.

“People familiar with the matter” have passed on a screenshot of Software Update to AppleInsider, which includes iTunes 10.4 sporting the build number “1010A59,” and the iWork ’09 update which we reported on earlier.

The release notes read:

What’s new in iTunes 10.4

iTunes 10.4 is now designed for OS X Lion.

You can now use iTunes with OS X Lion’s new Full-Screen App capability, which allows you to use iTunes and other apps without distractions. Navigate between full-screen apps with a simple gesture.

Note: iTunes is now a 64-bit Cocoa application on OS X Lion and includes a number of important stability and performance improvements. Some iTunes plug-ins may no longer be compatible with this version of iTunes. Please contact the plug-in developer for an updated plug-in compatible with iTunes 10.4

Developers with access to Apple’s latest iTunes 10.5 beta will already be familiar with these updates.
