advanced-systemui (0.2.8)

• volume muting
• 127 brightness levels
• settings to allow zero brightness or switch between 5 and 127 levels
• brightness is always bound to one of the hardware keys groups
• dimmed status and current brightness below user-defined brightness value
• long press lock button now blanks when lock setting is unchecked
• might fix the redraw problem after notifications or windows partially cover ASUI

The new brightness levels are automatically enabled but can be disabled with gconf-editor. N810 owners will need to use gconf-editor to allow zero brightness.

Lock button can now blank no matter what the control panel setting is at but does have different behavior (blanking).

I haven't heard back from mcow but if the test binary works then this release will also work without any setting changes.
