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.
