This is actually several separate C++11/C++14 libraries: - date.h is a header-only library which builds upon . It adds some new duration types, and new time_point types. It also adds field types such as year_month_day which is a struct {year, month, day}. And it provides convenient means to convert between the field types and the time_point types. - tz.h / tz.cpp are a timezone library built on top of the date.h library. This timezone library is a complete parser of the IANA timezone database. It provides for an easy way to access all of the data in this database, using the types from date.h and . The IANA database also includes data on leap seconds, and this library provides utilities to compute with that information as well. - chrono_io.h is a header-only library for streaming out chrono durations. - iso_week.h is a header-only library built on top of the date.h library which implements the ISO week date calendar. - julian.h is a header-only library built on top of the date.h library which implements a proleptic Julian calendar which is fully interoperable with everything above. - islamic.h is a header-only library built on top of the date.h library which implements a proleptic Islamic calendar which is fully interoperable with everything above. date.h and tz.h are now being proposed for standardization: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2016/p0355r1.html
