   - refactor: `quantity` `op+()` and `op-()` reimplemented in terms of `reference` rather then `quantity` types
   - feat: `std::format` support for compliant compilers added
   - feat: HEP system support added (thanks [@RalphSteinhagen](https://github.com/RalphSteinhagen))
+  - feat: conversion helpers from `mp-units` to `std::chrono` types added
   - (!) fix: add `quantity_point::origin`, like `std::chrono::time_point::clock`
   - fix: account for different dimensions in `quantity_point_cast`'s constraint
   - build: Minimum Conan version changed to 1.40

+Interoperability with the C++ Standard Library
+----------------------------------------------
+
+The above ``std::chrono``-specific customization points are already predefined in the ``mp-units``
+library for both ``std::chrono::duration`` as well as ``std::chrono::time_point``.
+They are provided in a dedicated header file::
+
+    #include <units/chrono.h>
+
+The same header file provides additional conversion helpers from ``mp-units`` to
+the C++ Standard Library types:
+
+- an explicit conversion of `quantity` to ``std::chrono::duration``::
+
+    template<QuantityOf<isq::si::dim_time> Q>
+    constexpr auto to_std_duration(const Q& q);
+
+- an alias that provides a conversion from `ratio` to ``std::ratio``::
+
+    template<ratio R>
+    using to_std_ratio = /* ... */
