From Squid-1.0 Release Notes:

SIGUSR1 now rotates log files
==============================================================================
In order to be more consistent with other daemon programs, SIGHUP is
used to reconfigure the running process. This means that we needed to
change the signal used to rotate the log files. We now use SIGUSR1 to
rotate the logs.
