Answer 1

Adam updated the plugin to support the new Google Calendar API.
See the documentation here: http://fullcalendar.io/docs/google_calendar/

Answer 2

Google has deprecated and shut down Calendar API v1 and v2. The "public/full" URL is no longer available.

FullCalendar is being updated to support API v3. Once released you will be able to use a v3 style URL. First create an API key in Google Developer Console (https://console.developers.google.com). Then use the following for the URL in FullCalendar, substituting your calendar ID and API Key:

https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/{YOUR_CALENDAR_ID}/events?key={YOUR_API_KEY}

The developer commented in the issue that the changes should be released tomorrow (Nov 19th). You can find more details and track the progress in this issue:

Answer 3

The problem is with the Google Calendar API JSON Output. FullCalendar converts feeds like

http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/usa__en%40holiday.calendar.google.com/public/basic

into

http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/usa__en%40holiday.calendar.google.com/public/full?alt=json-in-script&callback=?

in gcal.js on line 49

url: sourceOptions.url.replace(/\/basic$/, '/full') + '?alt=json-in-script&callback=?',

There does not seem to be any indication that the specs have changed. So, I assume that there is a problem somewhere in Google.
