Because I forgot to update the web page -- thanks for noticing.

Right, again my fault ;-( I forgot to update the file and signature on
www.mozilla-enigmail.org after the version was released on
addons.mozilla.org (see below)

done

That's because we want to offer the releases if possible through
addons.mozilla.org (AMO) for security reasons -- most people don't check
the signature. However, we cannot upload signature files to AMO, so
these are still offered on our own web site. The problem is that AMO
staff sometime need quite a while to review & release new versions, and
if I don't want to wait, I offer the files temporarily from our own web
site.
E.g. for v0.94.4 I didn't want to wait, since Thunderbird 1.5.0.12 was
blocking Enigmail (I was actually right, it took more than 1 week).
