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
