Upgrade go version to 1.25.7

[mrunal-stripe]

A new minor version of go 1.25 1.25.7 was released https://go.dev/doc/devel/release#go1.25.minor. Can you integrate that in ego and create a new minor version for ego

Current version of ego 1.8.1 uses go 1.25.6 https://github.com/edgelesssys/ego/releases/tag/v1.8.1

Hi, we plan to bring 1.26.1 next. Current ego-go should be able to build apps targeting 1.25.7. (It will print a warning though.)

@mrunal-stripe EGo v1.9.0 with Go 1.26.1 is released

Thank you so much!

Just for my understanding - How often do you plan to release minor/major version upgrades and if y'all are resource constrained at times, would you be open to pull requests from community? guidance provided here is fairly generic and I was wondering if there are specific guidelines for version upgrades

[thomasten]

We usually upgrade on

• new minor versions, usually waiting for the first patch version (e.g., the current upgrade, and the next one would be 1.27.1)
• new patch versions with important security fixes
• enterprise customer requirements

We accept pull requests. That CONTRIBUTING.md in the ertgo repo is actually from the upstream Go. The one in the ego repo is more relevant.

Go version upgrades are among the more complex things in EGo development. You need to make changes to ertgo, edgelessrt, and ego. Testing of ertgo is covered by tests in the other two repos.
