I'm pleased to announce the immediate availability of the latest stable
release of The GNOME Desktop and
developer platform, 2.8.3.

This is the third and last maintenance release of the stable 2.8.x
series of GNOME and it contains a huge amount of bugfixes and other
improvements since the last release. Thanks to everyone involved in
making GNOME software better.

Re: alt-tab does the equivalent of this

No, it doesn't. Alt-tab only switches between windows on the current workspace. The window selector applet shows you all windows from all workspaces simultaneously in a long list and allows you to select one, which then activates the given window (moving to its workspace first if need be)
