The changes page and your comment above suggest that there's still Unicode character support, but it doesn't seem to be listed in the API documentation (and the UCharParser module is explicitly mentioned as being gone, which I wouldn't expect to be the case if there were still Unicode support.)

Could you clarify?

Thanks.

There is ...  light...  unicode support.  UTF8 strings are still supported,
and can be transcoded from and to Latin-1.  For anything more complex than
that, you'll need to use Camomile or some other unicode library.  You're
right that these modules somehow got omitted from the API documentation;
the online docs are being regenerated as I write this.  The disappearance
of UCharParser may have been a mistake; looking back at that commit, it
looks like it was deleted instead of being modified to fit the removal of
camomile.  It will probably reappear in batteries 2.1.

Does this mean that executables compiled with batteries (and not
Camomile) no longer have intrinsic runtime dependencies on Camomile
files in certain filesystem locations?
(glad to see this if so!)

Yes, this is exactly what it means.

[Caml-list] [ANN] Batteries 2.0.0 released

[Edgar Friendly]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 797 bytes --]

Batteries 2.0.0 is now available for general consumption.  After years of
having to put up with the oddity that is "Batteries_uni" and the issues
with Camomile's data files, the Batteries Included Team is proud to break
backwards compatibility and release version 2.0.0 to fix these.

Now free of any camlp4 and made of 100% pure OCaml with no external
dependencies, batteries is easier to build and better than ever.

A complete list of API incompatible changes and new additions is available
at
https://github.com/ocaml-batteries-team/batteries-included/wiki/Interfacechanges12and
the new documentation is online at
http://ocaml-batteries-team.github.com/batteries-included/hdoc2/index.html

Download from ocamlforge at
https://forge.ocamlcore.org/frs/download.php/1096/batteries-2.0.tar.gz
