Release 2023-07-28: captiondoc.cls missing from ctan

hello

after downloading the files from https://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/caption, I get the following error while processing caption.dtx:

##> latex caption.dtx
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592653-2.6-1.40.25 (Web2C 2024) (preloaded format=latex)
 restricted \write18 enabled.
entering extended mode
(./caption.dtx
LaTeX2e <2023-06-01> patch level 1
L3 programming layer <2023-06-30>

! LaTeX Error: File `captiondoc.cls' not found.

Type X to quit or <RETURN> to proceed,
or enter new name. (Default extension: cls)

Enter file name: 

For some reason, captiondoc.cls is missing from ctan

Indeed, downloading https://gitlab.com/axelsommerfeldt/caption/-/raw/master/source/captiondoc.cls and adding it to the files from https://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/caption allows processing of the sources to complete successfully

thanks for your valuable work

ciao
