[1.12.6] - 2026-10-28

  • Start-XKCD's seasonal banner emoji is now randomly picked from a small set each time, instead of always being the same one: 🎃/👻/🦇/💀 in October, 🎄/🎅/🎁/🔔 in December.
  • Adds a -Resume switch to Start-XKCD, to open the viewer on whichever comic you last read, as recorded in the state file (the same record used by Get-XKCD/Show-XKCD's -Next/-Previous and by Test-XKCD) -- falls back to the latest comic if the state file has no record yet.
  • Start-XKCD no longer blocks behind a slow Sixel render when paging quickly through comics -- a waiting keypress now abandons an in-progress conversion straight away instead of finishing it first, so P/N/etc. feel immediate even before a comic has finished rendering.
  • Start-XKCD's left/right arrow keys now support Shift+Left/Shift+Right to jump 10 comics at a time instead of 1, clamped to the first/latest comic.
