Get it from http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/rentools.
Complete list of changes:
Items with a * need bhs.dll on the client
New logging feature for FDS (win32 and linux) that logs all text that appears on the console as UDP packets to a specified host and port. You can then grab these and parse them (they are sent as raw null terminated strings)
*Changes to wireframe mode to make only the 3D objects wireframe, not the 2D UI etc.
*New feature to allow for a scrolling map texture as a background to the radar.
New hud.ini keyword to disable the 2x cost multiplier that you get when your powerplant goes down
New hud.ini keyword to change the "delay factor" that is applied when your pp goes down (not 100% sure what it does though)
New hud.ini keyword to disable vehicle ownership (i.e. where only you can get in the vehicle you just bought)
*New hud.ini keyword to let you use the extra PT pages (the ones you access with ALT) as regular PT pages.
*New hud.ini keyword to change the way the game checks if the vehicles and characters icons should be enabled which is intended for use by mods that want to use Set_Can_Generate_Soldiers or Set_Can_Generate_Vehicles.
Some fixes to some possible server exploits
*A patch that will make mods that use the Com Center building or the Enable_Base_Radar to disable the radar work properly
New engine call Get_Build_Time_Multiplier that gets the current build time multiplier (if the pp is down, you get the value set with the above hud.ini keyword or the default of 2, otherwise you get 1)
*New engine call to change the settings for the scrolling map feature (intended to be used on a per-map basis)
New hook to hook beacon purchases so you can block them if you want (or handle them specially, e.g. enforce beacon limit)
New hook to hook vehicle purchases so you can do stuff like block normal weapons factory if your script builds the vehicle some other way)
New hook to hook character purchases, same as the other 2.
New hooks to let you monitor/log vehicle, character or beacon purchases.
You can register as many of these hooks as you like
*New engine call Set_Currently_Building which sets a flag. When this flag is set for a given team, the PT will display "building" underneath the vehicles button regardless of what the normal weapons factory is doing.
*New engine call Is_Currently_Building which returns the value set by Set_Currently_Building
Bug fixes to some engine calls
Bug fixes & improvements to SimpleDynVecClass and SimpleVecClass
Improvements to the defintions of cGameData and friends (including definitions of BaseControlerClass, NetworkObjectClass and others). With this new work, cGameDataCnC, cGameDataSinglePlayer, cGameDataSkirmish and cGameData now have pretty much 100% correct definitions.
Bug fixes to the object create hooks to make them crash less.

void Damage_All_Objects_In_Zone(GameObject *Zone,float Damage,const char *Warhead,GameObject *Damager); //Damages all objects in this zone
New script JFW_Change_Radar_Map which is used to change the scrolling radar map parameters on a per-map basis
