Those are from my own local builds I keep more up to date than releases.
I manually switch from release or local tars to check builds.

OpenSSL 1.0.2u was EoL and unsupported end of 2019:
https://www.openssl.org/blog/blog/2019/11/07/3.0-update/
Cygwin current is 1.0.2t so close but mingw is 1.0.2o 3 years ago.

OpenSSL 3 came out a year ago and is still in alpha # 17.

I haven't even looked at mingw packages because they are so outdated.
I am afraid to find out why they have not been updated to 1.1.1! ;^>
