[1.12.0] - 2026-10-26

  • Adds Start-XKCD, a full-screen terminal interface for browsing the archive without leaving it -- a TUI parody of xkcd.com itself, complete with its own ASCII art banner and tagline:
    • The current comic's title, image (centered -- exactly for Kitty/iTerm2, approximately for Sixel), and alt text are framed by a control bar shown both above and below the image.
    • G prompts for a specific comic number to jump to; F/L jump straight to the first/latest comic; P/N (or the left/right arrow keys) display the previous/next comic; R displays a random comic; Q/Esc exits back to your normal console.
    • By default it opens on the latest comic; use Start-XKCD 2000 to open on a specific one instead.
    • Supports -HighQuality and -Offline (with -DownloadPath), working the same way they do on Show-XKCD, and updates the same state file used by -Next/-Previous and Test-XKCD.
    • Set-XKCDDefault -HighQuality/-Offline/-CachePath/-StatePath also apply to Start-XKCD, since it shares these preferences with Show-XKCD.
  • Adds a -Columns parameter to the internal terminal image renderer so Kitty/iTerm2 images can be rendered at an exact column width (used by Start-XKCD to center them precisely); Show-XKCD and Export-XKCDTerminalImage are unaffected.
