## Summary
|
||
|
||
This is actually several separate C++11/C++14/C++17 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.

|
||
|
||
1. `"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.

1. `"iso_week.h"` is a header-only library built on top of the `"date.h"` library which implements the ISO week date calendar.

|
||
|
||
1. `"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.

||
|
||
* Documentation: http://howardhinnant.github.io/date/julian.html
|
||
|
||
1. `"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.

## Standardization
|
||
|
||
Slightly modified versions of `"date.h"` and `"tz.h"` were voted into the C++20 working draft at the Jacksonville FL meeting on 2018-03-17:

||
## Build & Test
|
||
|
||
You will need [CMake](https://cmake.org/) and a recent C++ compiler. Here follows a guide of how to build and test using the CMake Makefile generator.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
mkdir build
|
||
cd build
|
||
cmake ../
|
||
cmake --build . --target testit # Consider '-- -j4' for multithreading
|
||
```
