These are really good news!
SVG images are required for OOoLilyPond (LilyPond extension for
LibreOffice) to insert musical snippets into office documents without
quality loss.
At the moment, this is only possible by either using the SVG backend
(drawback: no lilypond-book-preamble) or by calling an additional
program to convert PDF to SVG.
The new cairo backend could be the ultimate solution to all that. Thanks
a million to everyone who has worked on that feature!

Cheers,
Klaus
