The DJGPP Knowledge Base has a section which explains what's new. Type
"info Know What" from the DOS prompt after you install djdev201.zip.
Most of the user-visible changes are in better support for long filenames
and a few new functions in the C library. There are also numerous new
ports of GNU utilities (such as Make) with much better MSDOS support;
these are usually described in the README.dos files which come with each
package.

Yes, you can. However, I suggest to delete the entire v2.0 tree and
install v2.01 from scratch. This way, you are sure that no v2.0
executables remain lurking because you somehow forgot to upgrade them.
