Yes, anything that mentions features or directives you are using (or 
would like to use).

Release notes for Squid vN should be in doc/release-notes/release-N.html 
file inside official Squid source code tarball for vN. For a given major 
Squid version, use the tarball for latest available minor release. 
Official tarballs for various versions are currently available by 
following version-specific links at http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/

The following wiki pages may also contain useful info:
https://wiki.squid-cache.org/Releases/Squid-5
https://wiki.squid-cache.org/Releases/Squid-6


HTH,

Alex.
