Hi,

Note that from 4.6 and until 5.1.x, both the Verlet scheme (which requires
rlist >= cutoff) and the twin-range group scheme (which requires cutoff >=
rlist) were implemented, so the documentation was incomplete. Before
GROMACS 2016, the twin-range scheme was removed and the documentation
corrected.
