The tab name is controled only by the GUI, and the "title" command doesn't change the tab name. 2. Opening new tabs is done only by the GUI, and the "start" command opens a new cmd window.

Currently maintained by one guy, which is fairly typical of open-source projects, even many with millions of downloads. Development seems stalled. Quick glance at source code shows fairly intricate Win32 app with bunch of hacks to work around edge cases, so steep learning curve to do any work on it. Console2 doesn’t work on x64 Windows.
