Dear all,

I am still interested in some integrator related issues.

I understand that the easiest way to implement velocity Verlet was to split
the updates in two updates. But I don't understad the order of those
updates.
I mean why there are two updates for velocities and then the update for
positions?
My intuitive idea would be to update first one half for velocities, then a
full step for positions and, finally, using these new positions the second
half for velocities.

Yes, there are two separate half-step updates for velocities. The comments in the md.cpp code are quite verbose if you want to trace through.
