It's covered in UPDATING. If you search for squid it's the first
entry. The change was to bring squid more in line with hier(7), at the
expense of putting the default cache on a partition that's typically
undersized.

If you  want the cache on a separate partition, and you have no
good reason to put the logs on it, you might as well mount it in line
with hier.
