There was a bug in the initial release relating to database version. Thanks to @mc12345678 for reporting this so quickly.
The issue has been fixed and these notes are only required for people who downloaded the build within the first 24 hours of availability (prior to 2022-10-17 at 05:05 AM EST.)
To fix the bug:
- In phpMyAdmin, update your project_version table. The most recent entries should refer to minor version `5.8` (not `5.8-dev`).
Long time users who have had the product since before Zen Cart 1.5.6 may see an issue when going to Tools > EZ Pages. If you get a white screen, here is the fix: go to Admin > Tools > Install SQL Patches and run
ALTER TABLE customers_basket DROP COLUMN final_price;
ALTER TABLE ezpages DROP COLUMN languages_id;
ALTER TABLE ezpages DROP COLUMN pages_title;
ALTER TABLE ezpages DROP COLUMN pages_html_text;
NOTE: This should only affect users using a database prefix (e.g. "zen_" or "zc_") in their configure.php files.
If you don't yet have a configure.php file or a database, you must explicitly go to YOURSITE.com/zc_install if you are running PHP8+.
If you go to YOURSITE.com, PHP7 will show the Welcome to Zen Cart page, but PHP 8+ will show a blank page. Fixed in PR #5332

PayPal Pro gives a white screen at checkout.
(This can also happen with any other onsite payment method that uses AJAX.)
Fix here: https://github.com/zencart/zencart/pull/5413
See warning in post #9 about additional files required for PayPal.
Please note: if you pick up any of the includes/modules/payment/paypal*.php files to fix a PHP warning or notice, you MUST also pick up the new file
./includes/modules/payment/paypal/paypal_currency_check.php
The following functions were renamed in 1.5.8 without warning
- zen_draw_products_pull_down
- zen_draw_products_pull_down_attributes
- zen_draw_products_pull_down_categories
- zen_draw_products_pull_down_categories_attributes
- zen_get_orders_status
The next release will alias the old names along with a deprecation notice so upgraders will have an easier time of fixing their code.
