* Security fix. An attacker on the local system could make you overwrite one of your own files with a single byte. The problem exist when you use --compress or --tmux or --pipe or --cat or --fifo. The attacker must figure out the randomly chosen file name and create a symlink within a time window of 15 ms.

* --shuf will generate all jobs, and shuffle them before running them. This is useful to get a quick preview of the results before running the full batch.
