Cygwin package search for each arch (mingw cross noarch matches both):

https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=idn2%5C%3F-&arch=x86_64
https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=idn2%5C%3F-&arch=x86

lists links to current and previous released packages; earlier archived 
not online.

Packaging repos added in recent years:

https://cygwin.com/git-cygwin-packages/?a=project_list&s=libidn&btnS=Search

where updates to playground repo, playground branches, or master 
branches, feeds CI (was Appveyor now Github Actions - work in progress - 
especially for mingw packages as cygport shell spec substitutions not 
reliably performed):

https://github.com/cygwin/scallywag/actions/workflows/scallywag.yml

The above repos and services may have access limitations depending on 
Cygwin and/or Github access and/or authorization.

Cygwin and most other distro packages are catalogued by repology.org:

        https://repology.org/project/libidn/related
        https://repology.org/project/libidn/versions
        https://repology.org/project/mingw:libidn/versions
        https://repology.org/project/libidn2/versions
        https://repology.org/project/mingw:libidn/versions

As Cygnus was acquired by RedHat, Cygwin acquired more of a Fedora flavour.
Eventually Cygwin commercial support became uneconomical, was dropped; 
core and newlib library released under BSD terms, packages on their own 
terms, with some RedHat volunteers as core developers and maintainers 
(fewer have time since IBM acquisition of RH), on sourceware.org servers 
funded originally by RedHat, possibly also now by other core projects, 
if they are funded, on those servers:
