Zmanim software computes zmanim at ease, with an easy-to-install package.
The Zmanim project is a software that allows you to compute zmanim, which are the times mandated by Jewish law for completing specific prayers. This software comes in two branches. The first is a console version built for Linux, while the second is the QT branch equipped with a Graphical User Interface (GUI) built for Linux using the QT GUI libraries.
In its latest release, the software has undergone some important updates. Firstly, the sunrise and sunset have been accurately adjusted, so there is no addition of 24 hours to the result, and it now remains in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), with the appropriate day in it. This adjustment effectively resolves the issue that emerged when DST started earlier than it should have under Bush's energy bill.
Secondly, the software now uses putenv() instead of setenv() to allow the software to compile on solaris and perhaps other Unix systems too. Lastly, the software has gone through some linguistic updates as it now corrects the use of the Hebrew word "Netz" to "HaNetz."
In summary, the Zmanim Project is a must-have software for observant Jews as it computes the times needed to complete specific prayers as mandated by Jewish law. The software comes in two branches; a console version for Linux and a QT branch for Linux that is equipped with a Graphical User Interface. The newest update ensures that the software is accurate in its computations while quickly resolving issues that made its usage difficult in some systems.
