Earlier, all <fieldType> tags were required to be nested inside a <types> tag. Similarly, all <field> and <copyField> tags were required to be nested inside a <fields> tag. Such nesting is no longer required and you can inter-mix <field>, <fieldType> and <copyField> tags as you like. Therefore, the <fields> and <types> tags are no longer required and can be removed. Even if you don't remove them, things will continue to work for some times until a major 5.0 release is made.
