There is no word-highlighting, yet, but --color (line-coloring) was
added in 3.4. The latest is 3.5.
* Noteworthy changes in release 3.4 (2016-08-08) [stable]
** New features
diff accepts two new options --color and --palette to generate
and configure colored output. --color takes an optional argument
specifying when to colorize a line: --color=always, --color=auto,
--color=never. --palette is used to configure which colors are used.
