I'm also confused by this. Is there some accompanying code that goes along with this? I've managed to toy with it to realize this library is expecting the remote url to respond with a json_encoded object, something like:

'id' => 'w.org/plugins/plugin-name',
'slug' => 'plugin-folder-slug',
'plugin' => 'plugin-folder-slug/plugin-file.php',
'new_version' => '2.0.0',
'url' => 'https://somewebsiteforplugin.com,
'package' => 'https://gitlab.com/gitlabuser/private-plugin-reponame/repository/master/archive.zip?private_token=YOURAPITOKENHERE',

And I've managed to get the WP Admin to show there's an update here: http://3cd.co/0s3n1F0P1S3l

However the actual plugin won't update. I see "Your plugins are all up to date" http://3cd.co/1o1k3r0r3v1g and on the Plugins page, it doesn't show there's an update.

I also custom wrote the response from the remote URL. It seems like there's a large chunk missing, or do we need to handle this ourselves?
