Upgrading from v155a to v155b is simply a matter of replacing some files (or merging your customizations with those files). The list of changed files is here: https://www.zen-cart.com/docs/change...5-5.html#v155b
(If you're using v155 and haven't upgraded to v155a already, apply the list of changed files for v155a and v155b, using the v155b zip file contents.)

As always, any additional critical issues will continue to be posted at Known bugs and fixes with v1.5.5
