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 <chrono>. 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 |
