[TNM-announce] Version 1.25.0 released

Version 1.25.0 of tail_n_mail has just been released. This version 
brings a fairly major change: support for multiple FILE definitions 
in the config. For example, if you previously had three separate 
configs for three separate hosts you are tracking, you can combine 
them all into a single config and thus single email by doing:

FILE: /var/log/pg_log/host/alpha/postgres-%Y-%m-%d.log
FILE: /var/log/pg_log/host/beta/postgres-%Y-%m-%d.log
FILE: /var/log/pg_log/host/charlie/postgres-%Y-%m-%d.log

Upon rewriting the config, tnm will give each one a number 
so that it can keep the LASTFILE and OFFSETs distinct. So the 
file will end up looking like this:

FILE1: /var/log/pg_log/host/alpha/postgres-%Y-%m-%d.log
OFFSET1: 1251
LASTFILE1: /var/log/pg_log/host/alpha/postgres-2012-04-30.log
FILE2: /var/log/pg_log/host/beta/postgres-%Y-%m-%d.log
OFFSET2: 4141
LASTFILE2: /var/log/pg_log/host/beta/postgres-2012-04-30.log
FILE3: /var/log/pg_log/host/charlie/postgres-%Y-%m-%d.log
LASTFILE3: /var/log/pg_log/host/charlie/postgres-2012-04-30.log
OFFSET3: 99223


You don't need to worry about the numbers. If you want to add 
a new entry, just add one or more plain FILE: entries and tnm 
will add them to the end of the queue.
