Show HN: Bor – Open-source policy management for Linux desktops
Bor v0.8.0 is out. This release adds three new policy types — Thunderbird, Microsoft Edge for Business, and Firewalld zones — alongside a full web UI overhaul, finer-grained RBAC, and a dedicated security hardening pass. The complete changelog is on the GitHub release page.
Thunderbird policy type Mozilla Thunderbird can now be managed on enrolled desktops with the same mechanism used for Firefox ESR. The agent writes the managed policies.json that Thunderbird expects, merged from all bound policies, and removing the last policy restores the original file.
