Is there no update to VMware Tools for Workstation 8.0.3?

I have never installed a new version of VMware Workstation without needing to upgrade the VMware Tools in each of my virtual machines.  After upgrading to Workstation 8.0.3 there was no prompt to update VMware Tools, and it says it's up to date.  Was there no new version of VMware Tools with this upgrade, or am I just missing something simple?

Thanks,

~J

From what I see on VMware's Server, VMware Tools 8.8.2 are used in both VMware Workstation 8.0.2 and 8.0.3.  So it looks like the two CVE issues that VMware Workstation 8.0.3 addresses was fixed in the core files not the tools packages.
