   * Changes in missing topologies (coverage): the missing topos are grouped by final states (irrespective of the topology structure).
     So the FinalStateSMS objects do not exactly match the GeneralElements from v2 (several GeneralElements can be mapped to a single FinalStateSMS)
   * Added option for setting the erased quantum numbers for prompt particles in the parameters file. If not defined, it will not erase the attributes
+  * Changed the lock file mechanism for downloading the database to work with all file systems, fixes #37
