Know what?
Oh:
Subject: where can I found freebsd kernel changelog ?
If that's what you mean, it's in the CVS system. Read about CVS on
the web page for more detail. Specifically, the command for a log on
a particular file,
say sys/kern/kern_exec.c, is:
$ cvs log /usr/src/sys/kern/kern_exit.c | less
You'll need less; these logs are always multiple pages.
In addition, you'll find the most recent part of the log for the
entire sys/ tree in reverse chronological form at
${CVSROOT}/CVSROOT/commitlogs/sys. Older part of the log are stored
in compressed form. There's a lot of them:
