Out of date hash between the binary and the sha files
Bug Report
Describe the bug From this link https://packages.fluentbit.io/windows/ the fluentbit 4.0.4 files between the .zip and sha file a mismatch of the hash. it appears that the exe was updated but the file containing the hash is not updated.
To Reproduce Download both files and compare the hash
Expected behavior The hash should match
Screenshots
The .zip as well as the .exe comparing to it's respective sha file does not match up. The timestamp of the sha file has the later date then the .exe. It should be the other way around.
Is it the reason why there's no Docker image for Windows 2019 after 4.0.3 ? There's no Docker image also for Windows 2022 after 4.0.4

The current versions for Windows (4.2.0) also don't match the published SHA256 hashes. Every single file has a different hash! And as stated before by @joshl621 the last-modified http-header show that the first the .sha256 file is modified and one day later the .zip file itself

I also made sure, that the error is not dependend on my computer / internet provider. VirusTotal shows the same hash as on my local computer, and they are different from the published ones.

I would be great, if anyone at least can confirm the behaviuor.
