Actually, that is an intentional difference.
The 1st link is to the 2.12 release API documentation. This is limited (by design) to public API methods (as marked in the docs within the code). Also since it is tied to the 2.12 release, it is a static snapshot of the api at the time of the latest 2.12 release. The API methods are not supposed to change between releases and require at least 2 release cycles of deprecation warnings before being moved to the deprecated file and even then, by including the deprecated.js file, you can still get them back.

While, the 2nd link is to the 'trunk' or 'nightly' developer documentation. This documentation includes every documented method in every class and is updated every time a commit is made to the master branch of OpenLayers. The non-API methods may change or even be removed entirely between releases without warning or notice. Thus this documentation presents a very different view of the class methods and properties than the API documentation.

Hope that helps clarify things for you

I noticed the documentation for the API linked to the web site is incomplete compared to what you can find with googling.
