That repo was updated two years ago, everything could have happened within that time.
It still works (with a few minor updates).
I wouldn't recommended using old software if you care about security
Maybe so, but in this case the point was that the protocol used by WhatsApp hasn't changed in that time and it's still what they describe in their security whitepaper. If you want to use that software as is or maybe reimplement it based on that is up to you.
