Well, in the release notes:
http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v3/3.0/squid-3.0-PRE2-20030816-RELEASENOTES.html
Convert core squid source to C++ (Robert Collins).

In terms of pros - thats really separate from the changes. We had many
discussions about the language for squid-3.0 before starting the c++
migration.

A lot of the changes listed in the release notes are one-liners, but
represent very substantial architectural changes.
I.e. Unify much of the IO logic, shrinking the code base for
diskd/aufs/ufs.

Cheers,
Rob
