The .toc file (the control file for an addon) has a specific WoW version listed in it (e.g., ## Interface: 62400 for the current WoW Revision of 6.2.4). If the .toc file lists a humber (say, 62300) then WoW will consider it 'out of date' even if it is the latest release of the addon. In 99.9999% of cases, just 'enabled out of date addons' and you're fine (expansions not withstanding) as addon many authors find it onerous on users to download a 'new version' of the addon with no changes save an update in the .toc file's ## Interface: nnnnn line.
