    1. Amir,
      When you are below sea level the reason you see sunrise later and sunset earlier is due to obstructions (natural in this case) blocking the horizon. Would you expect sunrise to be an hour or 2 before chatzos and an hour or 2 after chatzos when you were at the floor of the Grand Canyon? Secondly, calculating netz hanireh (visual sunrise) requires much more than elevation. You need to calculate how far you are from the obstruction, how high it is etc to know the angle to the horizon. I will try to post more details some time in the future.

    1. The issue is now resolved in both the Zmanim map and the Zmanim Calendar by overriding the old Olson database with the following:

      if(timeZone.getID().equals("America/Caracas")){
              timeZone.setRawOffset(-16200000);
      }
      

      The real truth is that with my host not updating the Java version, many places in the world will have an incorrect timezone. It is very hard to manually update my code to match all of the Java time zone changes in my hosts old Java version.

    1. Avi,
      Until under a year ago the library actually fully supported JDK 1.4. A recent PR broke that and introduced code that requires JDK 1.5, so we are making progress. I have been asked this in the past, and I will likely get to that point one day. I would recommend that you add it as an issue in the KosherJava GitHub issue tracking list. There is a very similar PR to add LocalDate to the calendar portion.
