Gauss' Posthumous Publications?
The Next CEO of Stack OverflowHistorically first uses of mathematical inductionIs there an index for solutions to American Mathematical Monthly problems?What is happening to Martin Gardner's files?Widely accepted mathematical results that were later shown to be wrong?English or French translation of Gauss' “Summatio Quarumdam Serierum Singularium”How might M.C. Escher have designed his patterns?History of Gauss' LawGauss's views on pure mathematicsHilbert's (cancelled) 24th problem“Gauss trick” vs Karatsuba multiplication

I'm looking for any information about the posthumous publication of Gauss' mathematical correspondence and notebooks.
When did these become widely available, and how did it affect progress in mathematics?

Q1: The mathematical diary that Gauss kept from 1796 to 1814 was rediscovered in 1897 and published in 1903, so almost fifty years after his death. His collected works were published sooner, in 1866.
Q2: According to The Poincaré Conjecture: In Search of the Shape of the Universe (page 124) the posthumous publication of Gauss's correspondence and scientific notebooks made it clear that Gauss had discovered non-Euclidean geometry first, and hastened the acceptance of Bolyai's and Lobachevsky's work.
As an aside: A notable discovery in Gauss' posthumous collected works was the basic algorithm of the fast Fourier transform, which he had already written down in 1805 -- even before Fourier's work from 1822. The FFT was not rediscovered until 1965. Other examples of independent rediscoveries include the Gauss-Seidel method and the quaternion multiplication rule.
