I think that you  misunderstand that changelog entry.  I am pretty sure 
this refers to the extract command line utility that can now be asked to 
extract specific files instead of unpacking the entire squashfs image. 
Manually unpacking images is something that is rarely done and has 
nothing to do with mounting the squashfs image on a running livecd.
