[Interesting fact about this release: the HTML version in the e-mail makes it clear that whoever typed it up simply cut-and-pasted the specific information about Specialist Winegeart into a standard template, which appeared in my inbox in purple font. I can't really say why this bothers me, but it seems a bit disrespectful.]
