Maximum possible character entropy for an alphabet of 23 characters is log2(23) ~ 4.5236. The value of 4.5236 would mean the same probability of any character coming after any other character, it cannot get more random than that. 4.4779 is just ~0.05 bits from the absolute limit.
I presume that these values from bi3mw represent the single character entropy, not the conditional character entropy. In any case, it is correct that this change is significant.
