Boost 1.59 was just release for MSYS2/MinGW. KiCad will fail to build the github plugin. It appears there were some changes in Boost 1.59 that break avhttp. I confirmed this by building their samples which also fail with the same error. I have filed a bug report with the avhttp project but I don't know how much help we are going to get. There hasn't been much activity in the avhttp project recently. I'm not sure what the status is for linux and osx builds but I'm guessing that since it's a winapi issue that they will not be affected. If you are using msys2/mingw, do not upgrade to boost 1.59. If like me you already have, you should downgrade to 1.57 and use pacman pin boost to prevent it from upgrading until this issue is resolved. Package builders will need to be fixed accordingly. If anyone has time to look at this, any help would be appreciated.
FYI, boost 1.59 finally has include gas files for compiling the context library on windows using the gnu assembler so the large patches we provide at some point will not be required.
