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_v2.html for more details. + +2. The other files 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. See http://howardhinnant.github.io/tz.html for more details.
