FWIW Mirriam-Webster and the CED suggest "up-to-date" when before a noun, so the changes should be "up-to-date answer" but "are up to date".

That 'feels' right to me.

Though in code, possibly it would be better to just use 'up-to-date' in code for consistency and to make the it easier to grep?

As a minor aside: double quotes should be used for speech and single quotes for quoting!
