You removed the logging of date/time. But that is essential. I like to see in the log, when update-check runs for the last time.

I re-added the timestamps to the log messages with the format from check-for-changes.sh which I added to utils.sh as a common function.

Instead of providing in each _log call $(_print_date), something more generic would be easier:

_log 'debug' "$(_print_date) Remote version information fetched" --> _log_date 'debug' "Remote version information fetched"

_log_date() {
  _log "$1" "$(_print_date)$2"
}

PS: As we take the output from the function and don't directly print it, _get_date sounds better to me.

Edit: Until otherwise needed, just include _print_date into _log_date():
_log "$1" "$(date "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")$2"

That way, only the log file needs to be sourced, instead of index.sh.

Will do 👍🏼
