</div>Thanks a lot for your branches. I have merge all of your fixes, tested<br>
it with window7 and they work correctly.<br>
For 13.04 we have disabled and stopped building disk-images, so those are gone.<br>
And the isolist.ini is correct as per your patches to match reality.<br>
<br>
I have pinged Evan, to publish a release and request the wubi.exe<br>
builds for Precise and Raring be signed such that we can release them.<br>
I am not sure how long the delay is but hopefully we will be able to<br>
release wubi for precise & raring soon.<br>

<br>
</div>Would you be able to contribute safe-guards (e.g. bail out, disable<br>
hibernation) and or Windows8 UEFI boot integration for wubi?<br>
The first one will prevent people from getting disappointed, while the<br>
later will potentially make wubi fully supperted yet again.<br>
<br>
