I didn't see anything in the release notes but does anyone know if Vim 8 adds true colour terminal support?

(I realise that NeoVim has this.)

I haven't searched for vim 8 specifically. But starting with vim v7.4.1770 there was a `set guicolors` option.

Update: Looking at the version8.txt[1] on github, the option seems to be `set termguicolors`

Change seemed to take place at version 7.4.1799[2]

Patch 7.4.1770

  Problem:    Cannot use true color in the terminal.
  Solution:   Add the 'guicolors' option. (Nikolai Pavlov)
  Files:      runtime/doc/options.txt, runtime/doc/term.txt,
            runtime/doc/various.txt, src/auto/configure, src/config.h.in,
            src/configure.in, src/eval.c, src/globals.h, src/hardcopy.c,

            src/version.c, src/vim.h
I just tried to get some information on this and all I found was info on how to enable this for NeoVIM.
