get it from http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/rentools/
Changes in this release:
1.A one-off change to prevent bhs.dll 2.9.2 from working with any scripts.dll other than 2.9.2 unless you recompile scripts.dll with the needed change (this is to prevent all the people who are using 2.9.x with SSAOW 1.5 which DOES NOT work).
2.Changes for the future so that you cant mix scripts.dll and bhs.dll versions
3.A fix to Get_Player_Name_By_ID to make it return NULL instead of "None" if the player ID doesnt exist.
4.Fixes to places where Get_Remote_Host is used so that if it returns NULL, it wont crash.
5.A change to correctly release memory in the nickname exploit fixes when Get_IP_Address is used to obtain the IP address in order to print it later. (happens every time the code runs)
6.A fix to uses of Find_Base_For_Star() so that if it returns NULL (i.e. player is unteamed or w/e), it wont crash anymore.
and 7.A fix to the sidebar to correctly disable the buttons (infantry that costs money plus vehicles) if the relavent setting in BaseControlerClass is set (i.e. the buildings are down)

This needs not apply. SSAOW and SSCTF need their counterpart scripts.dll to work, however, bhs.dll is not required and can be upgraded (to the latest version (if aplicable)). Server hosters cannot do this if you force scripts.dll 2.9.2 and bhs.dll 2.9.2 to work only with eachother.
This is ok clentside, but, will cause havoc for server hosters trying to upgrade their servers.
Does this mean that SSAOW users will have to be stuck with what they get from SSAOW or have to use bhs.dll 2.8?

The real issue is that using a bhs.dll version with any scripts.dll version other than the one it was designed to be used for can cause bugs. I have several possible issues that may be caused because someone mixed SSAOW 1.5 and recent bhs.dll versions (2.8/2.9/whatever) and implemented this so that people wont try and mix incompatible dlls in future. I have also found problems in the past where people mixed dlls and had problems as a result.
Using anything other than bhs.dll 2.5.2 with SSAOW 1.5 WILL NOT WORK and anyone trying otherwise may think its working but its NOT working correctly.
If you wish to use SSAOW with scripts.dll 2.9, you will need to wait for SSAOW 1.6 which will be throughly tested by WhiteDragon (and checked by myself) to ensure complete compatiblity with scripts.dll 2.9 (obviously if scripts.dll 3.0 comes out before SSAOW 1.6, SSAOW 1.6 will use scripts.dll 3.0 and not scripts.dll 2.9)
Anyone who is using SSAOW 1.5 with any bhs.dll version other than 2.5.2 (regardless of what, if any, changes they made to SSAOW) will NOT get any support from me and probobly none from WhiteDragon either (although I dont pretend to speak for him)

No, you shouldn't mix any scripts.dll with any bhs.dll or it will
crash the server sometimes.
If you have scripts.dll 2.4 you need to use bhs.dll 2.4,
if you have scripts.dll 2.2.2 you need to use bhs.dll 2.2.2
When people ask me "Plz" just because it's shorter than "Please" I feel perfectly justified to answer "No" because it's shorter then "Yes"
