I opened (the unpatched) Whatsup and it worked again for me too.
I think it's already been established that Whatsup (sadly) isn't open sourced, so that's probably why you cannot find the source code repository.

The reason it would be a good idea to change it (even if things currently work) is that keeping the version up to date with the latest released whatsapp version makes it more difficult for whatsup to get stuck if they deprecate earlier versions.

BTW, a feature that might be useful would be to have "reported version", "newest whatsapp version", "whatsup version" and "newest whatsup version" all listed in the about dialog, and to nudge the user whenever there's a new release of whatsup.
