EMV got standardized in 1995. The first
widely used version was EMV 3.0 published in 1996, which is why its
popularly known as EMV '96. Some modifications to the standard were
done in 1998, giving us EMV 3.1.1.
Another version came out in Dec 2000.
Though the formal name was EMV 4.0, it became popularly known as EMV
2000. Finally, another version came out as EMV 4.1 in June 2007,
which fortunately didn't get its name altered.
Minor improvements to EMV 4.1 resulted
in EMV 4.2 in Jun 2008, and further in EMV 4.3 which was published
very recently in Nov 2011.
