History
The standard was established on March 1, 1991 in a meeting at C-Cube Microsystems involving representatives of many companies, including C-Cube Microsystems, Radius, NeXT, Storm Tech, the PD JPEG group, Sun, and Handmade Software. The standard appears to have lost ownership, since C-Cube Microsystems is now defunct, and further development of the standard is dead. The latest version is v1.02, published September 1, 1992.
Since 2009, JFIF is under development to be defined as ISO/IEC 10918-5 - JPEG Part 5: JPEG File Interchange Format (JFIF). Ecma International TR/98 specifies the JPEG File Interchange Format (JFIF); the first edition was published in June 2009. As many other JPEG components, the specification is now approved as common ITU and ISO/IEC standard, under ITU-T T.871 | ISO/IEC 10918-5.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“It’s a very delicate surgical operation—to cut out the heart without killing the patient. The history of our country, however, is a very tough old patient, and we’ll do the best we can.”
—Dudley Nichols, U.S. screenwriter. Jean Renoir. Sorel (Philip Merivale)
“All history and art are against us, but we still expect happiness in love.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“I believe that in the history of art and of thought there has always been at every living moment of culture a “will to renewal.” This is not the prerogative of the last decade only. All history is nothing but a succession of “crises”Mof rupture, repudiation and resistance.... When there is no “crisis,” there is stagnation, petrification and death. All thought, all art is aggressive.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
