Clarification, does this send a notification to the event owner (I've seen that listed in the new features which is great)? Does it also use the event creator's email address as the From: field in e-mails to registrants, or does it still use the system wide default from: address?

Thanks,
Russell.

It doesn't. However, it add the event creator to reply-to of the email. So if registrant receive email, then click on the Reply button in their mail client to send email, that email will be sent to event creator email

Please note that it will only works like that for event creator is normal registered users on your site. If event creator has super admin permission (for example, if you are super admin), there will be no additional email sent to event creator

Tuan,
more testing and found the ICS file still uses the system address.
For my site I've update sendEmails() so that it will use the creator's address.

Code:

...
                $ICSfromEmail = $fromEmail; 
                $ICSfromName = $fromName;
		if ($event->created_by)
		{
			$eventCreator = JUser::getInstance($event->created_by);
			if (!empty($eventCreator->email) && !$eventCreator->authorise('core.admin'))
			{
				$mailer->addReplyTo($eventCreator->email);
                                $ICSfromEmail = $eventCreator->email;
                                if (!empty($eventCreator->name)
                                {
                                        $ICSfromName = $eventCreator->name; 
                                }
			}
		}
...
			$ics->setName($event->title)
				->setDescription($event->short_description)
				->setOrganizer($ICSfromEmail, $ICSfromName)
				->setStart($event->event_date)
				->setEnd($event->event_end_date);
