- Electron version: 1.1.0
- Operating system: Windows
- Use case: cleanup and reporting tasks executed on quit (headless), which may take time and should not prevent from opening a new instance.
- Proposed solutions:
  - new _app.releaseSingleInstance()_ API which free the singleInstance lock
  - replace _app.releaseSingleInstance()_ API by an event listener (which may be listened/unlistened)
  - [app.makeSingleInstance](https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/master/docs/api/app.md#appmakesingleinstancecallback) returns the result of the callback function. So we can choose to quit or not in a more accurate way.
  - Provide a communication channel between the new instance and the main one (in callback arguments)
