Smarty

I had an issue when migrating my code from Smarty 2 to Smarty 3.1, I wonder if this is properly explained in the documentation:

in Smarty 2 the apparently common way to set a plugin dir was

$smarty->plugins_dir[] = '...';

this used to set a user plugin dir and kept smarty's own plugin dir in the list.

in Smarty 3.1 the variable plugins_dir is no longer accessible, so I figured the obvious replace is setPluginDir, however this overwrites the directory already set for the smarty plugins, removing escape etc.

The correct solution is to use addPluginDir, but that isn't obvious from the documentation.

You are right. addPluginsDir() is the way to go.

There is a note about the migration to 3.1 and the deprecation of $plugins_dir[] usage here.
