+This is actually several separate C++11/C++14 libraries:
+
+ - 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.
+
+ - 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:
