Paypal updates - how does it affect Zen Cart?

Hello

We recently got an email from paypal giving notice for a series of updates. I didn't find any previous posts on this, but not sure what to expect with the updates. I'm reading it and a bit lost.. Any suggests/thoughts would be most appreciated!

(currently running 1.3.9h)

Here's a summary of what's to come:

Sept 29th - IP Address Expansion
IPN Customers who have their IPN Listener script behind their firewall with hard-coding of IP Addresses or use of Access Control List management of IP addresses

PayPal Notification:

Oct 1st - Server upgrade that requires 3 minutes of downtime starting between 11 PM PDT – 11:05 PM PDT for Payflow Gateway customers
Customers using Payflow Pro, Payflow Link, V2 Payflow, Websites Payments Pro (3.0) using Gateway credentials and Website Payments Pro Payflow Edition (2.0)

PayPal Notification:

November 15- IP Address Expansion
API Customers, including Express Checkout, Websites Payments Pro (3.0) and Website Payments Pro Payflow Edition (2.0), who either hard code outbound IP addresses or use an Access Control List.

Re: Paypal updates - how does it affect Zen Cart?

There's nothing required within Zen Cart itself. Zen Cart doesn't "hard-code" any PayPal IP addresses. http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=177771

If you or your hosting company have made any firewall adjustments for PayPal purposes, you'll need to deal with those amongst yourselves using the PayPal notices as reference.
