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:
