Wac OS X 10.2 is an open source recreation of Mac OS X 10.2. It is part of the WacOS operating system project.
The system is currently written in C, but will also support several other languages, including x86 Assembly, Objective-C, and AppleScript
Features to replicate
Source: Mac OS X 10.2 - Wikipedia (en)
Jaguar introduced many new features to Mac OS X, which are still supported to this day, including MPEG-4 support in QuickTime, Address Book, and Inkwell for handwriting recognition. It also included the first release of Apple's Zeroconf implementation, 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, shared scanners, and printers, to the user.
Mac OS X Jaguar Server 10.2.2 added 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.
Jaguar saw the debut of Quartz Extreme, a technology used to composite graphics directly on the 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.
Universal Access was added to allow the Macintosh to be usable by disabled computer users.
The user interface of Jaguar was also amended to add search features to the Finder using the updated Sherlock 3.
Internally, Jaguar also added the 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 as a server for the SMB remote file access protocol and a FreeBSD-derived virtual file system module as a client for SMB.
The famous Happy Mac that had greeted Mac users for almost 18 years during the Macintosh startup sequence was replaced with a large grey Apple logo with the introduction of Mac OS X Jaguar.
The Happy Wac is disabled by default on boot to match the release, and on boot, the letter W will show. By default, on the first install, it will go with the brand logo (The W logo with a big cat texture) then it will be the Modern1 logo (The W logo with a metal tecxturr) This can be changed in WACOS_10-2_BOOT.cfg
OpenHFS+ gets an upgrade to 2.0, adding support for journaling.
MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14) is now supported by default.

This is a guesthouse repository, and not a home repository, as development mainly stays on the main WacOS side. This is just the guesthouse that the project retreats to at times. If you are already in this repository, the link is likely recursive, and will reload the page.
