V2 is deprecated. Google will continue to support V2, (fix eventual bugs), for at least 3 years, but no new features will be added to it. V3 is the current version.

Why create a new one? Because V2 was made before smartphones became a common everyday device. V3 is much lighter and faster, and it is specifically oriented towards mobile devices, though it performs fine on PC as well, of course.
