I've pinned this issue for prominence.

Essentially, a lot can get unclogged if anybody is willing to help getting the OSX CI working again.

@k-dominik given that the CIs are back and running, I think we are good releasing a "quick version" without any other changes before moving on to changes to the code base.

This release mostly includes changes to the build architecture to bring it in-line with more modern tooling.

The follow-on PRs address compatibility with new standards of C++ when we can create a new version bump delineating the different changes for downstream.

Oh yes please, can't believe I finally can stop bumping build numbers manually for vigra when used as a dependency! Awesome that you put in the effort to make it work!

New release just cut.
