-  generator, below 1.7 uses RandomNumbers.jl's `Xorshifts.Xoroshiro128Star(rand(UInt64))`.
+- `rng`, the random number generator to use. Defaults to Julia's built-in

 - `save_positions=(true,true)`, specifies whether to save the system's state (before, after)
   the jump occurs.
 - `spatial_system`, for spatial problems the underlying spatial structure.
