i don't fully understand what that is doing. Keep in mind, in between multiple time/date entries there maybe multiple lines, the description is not necessarily all on the same line as the date/time stamp (e.g. paragraphs). But yes, a new line and a "[" is probably a fair assumption for the start of each description update. Example below.

  "PercentSynced" is an important indicator showing the progress of
  Synchronization especially for large capacity LUN\'s. Hence changing
+ the
  urgency to U2.

  Fixed in I16

  Re-tested the issue with build #0.1.16.26d.

  After adding a clone to clone group, the "PercentSynced" now shows 0
+, 2, 100
  while the initial synchronization is in progress. It changes directl
+y to
  100% after 2%.
    This behavior is seen both via CLI and NaviX UI.
    While the initial synchronization in progress, the "PercentSynced"
+ figure
  should change in a regular interval representing the actual percenta
+ge
  synchronized.
