Errors after update to 7.01

[sblask]

Not sure which version I was on before, but after an update to 7.01 I get a wall of failures when using vimdiff. Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you for your question. Looks like your vim does not have a termguicolors feature. I will fix it in the next update but as a workaround please try to modify line 28 of /home/sebastian/.vim/bundle/diffchar.vim/autoload/diffchar.vim: from \'GUI': &term == 'builtin_gui' || &termguicolors, to \'GUI': &term == 'builtin_gui',

Thanks for your workaround, it works. Let me know if you need more information.
