Hi folks,
As MS Windows 8.1 has gone EoL today:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/windows-81?source=recommendations
with Chrome, Edge, and other product support also ending this month, is Cygwin
3.4.3 also the last release to support that and equivalent server releases, and
should that be clarified on the web pages and announcements.

There are no plans to drop 8.1 support any time soon, and all 3.4.x
versions will continue to run on Windows 7 and later, as already
outlined in basically all cygwin package announcements since Cygwin
3.3.0:
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin-announce/2021-October/010268.html
[...]
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin-announce/2022-December/010831.html
Only the 3.4.3 release announcement is missing this info accidentally.

Thanks for the clarification.
I was just in touch with curl upstream to drop their Downloads web page Cygwin
x86 32 bit section, and clarify update availability, and was unsure whether that
EoL affected anything.
I will edit https://github.com/curl/curl-www/issues/216 to clarify that for
future searchers.
