Description

I am probably missing something big, but if I'm not then this is bad for all the Ruby devs.

On the official Ruby 3.4 docs site (docs.ruby-lang.org), the Base64 gem is no longer documented.

I search through the long list of gems now on the "Ruby Standard Library" page, and find the link for "base64" takes me here to the source code.

Web searches do find this gem's docs up to Ruby 3.3, but I want to be sure I'm looking at the proper version all the time.

If anyone is generating docs for the "Bundled Gems" list, please let me know. I'm an old gray haired Rubyist and I just needed a quick reminder of these APIs, but any young devs would probably be disappointed by this.

Research direction

Start at the Ruby 3.4 documentation site, the Ruby Standard Library page, and the base64 source link to trace how the Base64 gem is represented. Check how the Bundled Gems list is generated or published, then verify that the Base64 API documentation appears under the correct Ruby 3.4 version and that its listing links to the generated docs.
