Hi thanks for the plugin, this is a great help when checking user privileges.
I tested an upgrade on a testsetup, and the plugin is not compatible with the new 5.0.0 release.

Would really appreciate if you could update the master to 5.x compatibility.

the impersonate banner still showed up for admin user

ENV:

Redmine version: 4.1.0

DETAILS:

Hi, I have tested impersonate plugin perfectly with redmine default admin account. However, when I used a custom admin account my_admin, the impersonate banner would not dispear after clicking Cancel button and returning to current my_admin account.

Below is a table. I wish it could help you understand me.

Account	What happened when impersonate a user	What happened when cancel impersonating the user
default admin	impersonate banner apeared	impersonate banner disapeared
user my_admin with admin privilege	impersonate banner apeared	impersonate banner still apeared

Could you please fix this issue?

Update README requirements section

After @thegcat contribution (Hello! 👋), plugin no longer works for 2.x. Time to update requirements section and create separate branch with head 3920cdb.

Happens after #7.

Update version on redmine.org

Your plugin is superuseful, I would like more people to know it, it would be great if you could update the page at https://www.redmine.org/plugins/redmine_impersonate to show current version (2.0.0) instead of 0.9.0, also the changelog show last update on 2015.

Russian locales

Hello, I would like to thank you for your plugin. Below is the Russian translation for the plugin. I would like to ask you to add an icon before the button to more closely match the style of the Redmain. Thank you.

cat ./ru.yml 
ru:
  notice_impersonating_user: "Представляемся как %{user}"
  button_impersonate: "Представиться"
