Gauss' Posthumous Publications?
$begingroup$
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.
