Mark,
well maybe naive is not the best term; it means that without any
international sorting functions, strings are sorted as a sequence of
bytes. This works well for ASCII, but if your data may contain other
characters, you should be careful.
0.51 has many advantages over 0.44; the number of bugs fixed alone is a
sufficient reason to switch to it. Check the release file for other changes.
