Squid does rotate logs. Every time you run the command "squid -k
rotate". Up to the number of files logfile_rotate is configured to save.
  During that process it also compacts the cache journals which can suck
up disk space if not compacted regularly.

The popular distro packaged versions usually set the rotate to happen
via an external application like logrotate.d though. Which can also
perform compression and other management tasks easily.
