==New and changed features== * [[MPEG-4]] support is added in [[QuickTime]].<ref>{{cite press release|title=Apple Introduces "Jaguar," the Next Major Release of Mac OS X|url=https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2002/07/17Apple-Introduces-Jaguar-the-Next-Major-Release-of-Mac-OS-X|date=July 17, 2002|publisher=[[Apple Inc.]]|access-date=August 22, 2019|archive-date=September 19, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220919180257/https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2002/07/17Apple-Introduces-Jaguar-the-Next-Major-Release-of-Mac-OS-X/|url-status=live}}</ref> * [[Address Book (application)|Address Book]] and [[Inkwell (Macintosh)|Inkwell]] are introduced for handwriting recognition.<ref name="lem"/> * New features are introduced, such as [[Zeroconf]] and [[Bonjour (software)|Rendezvous]] (later renamed to Bonjour), which allows devices on the same network to automatically discover each other and offer available services, such as [[file sharing]], [[image scanner|shared scanners]], and printers, to the user. * Mac OS X Jaguar Server 10.2.2 added [[journaling file system|journaling]] to [[HFS Plus]], the native Macintosh file system, to add increased reliability and data recovery features. This was later added to the standard Mac OS X in version 10.3 Panther.<ref>{{cite web|title=Mac OS X: About file system journaling|url=https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204435|website=Apple Support|publisher=Apple Inc.|access-date=September 27, 2015|archive-date=May 11, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150511045537/https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204435|url-status=live}}</ref> * Jaguar saw the debut of [[Quartz Compositor|Quartz Extreme]], a technology used to composite graphics directly on the [[graphics processing unit|video card]], without the use of software to composite windows. The technology allotted the task of drawing the 3D surface of windows to the video card, rather than to the CPU, to increase interface responsiveness and performance. * [[Apple Universal Access|Universal Access]] was added to allow the Macintosh to be usable by [[disability|disabled computer users]]. * The user interface of Jaguar was also updated to add search features to the [[Finder (software)|Finder]], powered by [[Sherlock (software)|Sherlock 3]]. * Internally, Jaguar added the [[CUPS|Common Unix Printing System]] (also known as CUPS), a modular printing system for [[Unix-like]] [[operating systems]], and improved support for [[Microsoft Windows]] networks using the open-source [[Samba (software)|Samba]] as a server for the [[Server Message Block|SMB]] remote file access protocol and a FreeBSD-derived [[virtual file system]] module as a client for SMB. * The [[Happy Mac]] startup icon that was introduced with the [[Original Macintosh 128K|original Macintosh]] was replaced with a grey Apple logo.
