The Unity 8 team informed us that they are working hard on implementing new features in the Alt+tab functionality, which is getting merged into the Unity 8 code as we speak. They will need a lot of feedback once it’s out. Last but not least, a lot of work has been done for the session management, which should arrive on the Desktop edition of Ubuntu quite soon, and support has been added for apps to exit gracefully instead of being killed.
