These surface types don't exist anymore inside weston desktop shell implementation. They are just exposed as wl_shell surface types, but internally the implementation is done with surface states. The previous behavior (setting a surface type unsets another one) still happens when using wl_shell. This change is mainly done as a refactory to allow xdg-shell to use the same code.
Weston Weston is the reference implementation of a Wayland compositor, and a useful compositor in its own right. Weston has various backends that lets it run on Linux kernel modesetting and evdev input as well as under X11. Weston ships with a few example clients, from simple clients that demonstrate certain aspects of the protocol to more complete clients and a simplistic toolkit. There is also a quite capable terminal emulator (weston-terminal) and an toy/example desktop shell. Finally, weston also provides integration with the Xorg server and can pull X clients into the Wayland desktop and act as a X window manager. Refer to http://wayland.freedesktop.org/building.html for buiding weston and its dependencies.
