It seems I got the same problem with MikTex (that was also updated). In my case
I came along the problem with the links generated with hyperref were not colored
anymore. 

As a quick and dirty solution I fixed it with redefining

\renewcommand{\textcolor}[2]{{\addfontfeature{Color=#1}#2}}
\renewcommand{\color}[1]{\addfontfeature{Color=#1}}

This solution is probably not really good but it works in my case (the links are
colored again).
