+ == Enable net.ipv4.ping_group_range
 

+ 

+ Fedora 31 now supports the `net.ipv4.ping_group_range` kernel parameter for all user groups. This change enables all users to create Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Echo sockets without using the `setuid` binaries, or having the `CAP_NET_ADMIN` and `CAP_NET_RAW` file capabilities.
 

+ 

+ As a result, the rootless `podman` containers are now able to use the `ping` utility. This change applies also to users developing on the *Fedora Silverblue* variant, who use containers created through the `toolbox` utility.

Fixes #376

There's probably an extra the in create the Internet Control Message.

+1, looks good to me.

Thank you for working on the release notes.
