I'm not aware of any net versions, but yes, they get re-published from time to time. They have no merit as source materials for the prehistory of Poland; otherwise they are full of literary and historical merit, and are indeed required reading for students of Polish history and literature.

The best know edition of the Anonymous Gaul's chronicle is from 1966, but I believe I have seen a much more recent one too.

A new Polish translation of Master ("Kadlubek") Vincent's _Polish Chronicle_ was published in 1974 and then again in 1992.

The nine volumes of Jan Dlugosz's _Annales_ (Pol. _Roczniki_) were publishes 1961-1975 (Polish translation) and 1964-1978 (the Latin original).

There have been post-war editions (in addition to several earlier ones) of Bielski's and Kromer's histories. I read them myself about ten years ago, but I don't remember the bibliographical details.
