Chkuser 2.0 upgrading installation

This update page is valid only for chkuser 2.0. If you have previous versions (< 2.0.0), you must reinstall the patch (either starting from clean sources, or using the manual instructions to adjust the existing sources).

As 2.0.9 has important new features and solves some small bugs, we suggest to upgrade to it as soon as you can.
