Users of versions 1.1-alpha9 and up note that the attachment framework has been reworked. Adding attachments to e-mail sent using event communication rules or the search task now requires the Mail Attachments extension which supports different types of attachments that can be defined in other extensions. Custom Event Communication provides the attachment types *iCalendar file" and Message Template as PDF, both available for e-mail related to event participants. The latter might be refactored to live in Mail Attachments and being available for more entities than event participants in the future. Make sure to check and re-configure your event communication rules as there is no upgrade path from the interim attachment framework introduced in version 1.1-alpha9.
