This is actually several separate C++11/C++14 libraries:
|
|
|
|
1. `"date.h"` is a header-only library which builds upon `<chrono>`. 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. See http://howardhinnant.github.io/date/date.html for more details.

2. `"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 `<chrono>`. The IANA database also includes data on leap seconds, and this library provides utilities to compute with that information as well. See http://howardhinnant.github.io/date/tz.html for more details.

There will be a talk on this library at [Cppcon 2016](https://cppcon2016.sched.org/event/7nLc/welcome-to-the-time-zone).

|
|
3. `"chrono_io.h"` is a header-only library for streaming out chrono durations. See http://howardhinnant.github.io/date/chrono_io.html for more details.
|
|
|
|
4. `"iso_week.h"` is a header-only library built on top of the `"date.h"` library which implements the ISO week date calendar. See http://howardhinnant.github.io/date/iso_week.html for more details.
|
|
|
|
5. `"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. See http://howardhinnant.github.io/date/julian.html for more details.
|
|
|
|
6. `"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. See http://howardhinnant.github.io/date/islamic.html for more details.

There has been a recent change in the library design. If you are trying to migrate from the previous design, rename `day_point` to `sys_days` everywhere, and that ought to bring the number of errors down to a small roar.

|
`"date.h"` and `"tz.h"` are now proposed for standardization here: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2016/p0355r0.html
