 ## v3.0.0 (TBD)
 
-### Major Changes - ANTLR4 Grammar-Based Parsing
+### Major Changes
+
+This is a **major version** with breaking changes. FileSeq v3 includes two significant architectural improvements:
 
-This is a **major version** with breaking changes. FileSeq v3 migrates from regex-based parsing to ANTLR4 grammar-based
-parsing, aligning the Python implementation with the Go and C++ implementations for consistency and maintainability.
+1. **ANTLR4 Grammar-Based Parsing** (#149) - Migrates from regex-based parsing to ANTLR4 grammar-based parsing
+2. **Range-Based FrameSet Storage** (#150) - Replaces fully-expanded frame storage with memory-efficient ranges
 
-#### Breaking Changes
+#### ANTLR4 Grammar-Based Parsing (#149)
 
-**Removed API:**
+Aligns the Python implementation with the Go and C++ implementations for consistency and maintainability.
+
+**Breaking Changes:**
 - `FileSequence.SPLIT_RE` class variable (custom regex pattern override)
 - `FileSequence.DISK_RE` class variable (custom disk scanning override)
 - `constants.SPLIT_PATTERN`, `constants.SPLIT_RE` (use grammar-based parsing API)
 - `constants.SPLIT_SUB_PATTERN`, `constants.SPLIT_SUB_RE` (use grammar-based parsing API)
-
-**Removed Files:**
 - `setup.py` (replaced with modern `pyproject.toml`)
 - `src/fileseq/__version__.py` (version now managed by `setuptools-scm` from git tags)
 
-**Behavioral Changes:**
-- **Auto-padding:** Now only applies to single-frame files without explicit padding
-  - `foo.100.exr` → gets auto-padding based on frame width (backward compatible)
-  - `foo.1@@@@.exr` → preserves explicit padding (previously would auto-pad)
-- **Pattern parsing:** Uses shared ANTLR4 grammar instead of regex
-  - More consistent behavior across languages
-  - Better error messages for invalid patterns
-
-#### New Features
-
+**New Features:**
 - **Decimal frame ranges:** Support for decimal step values
   - `foo.1-5x0.25#.exr` → frames 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.25...
-  - Single token parsing for better performance
-
 - **Subframe sequences (Python-specific):**
   - Dual range: `foo.1-5#.10-20@@.exr` (main frames + subframes)
   - Composite padding: `foo.1-5@.#.exr` (frame padding + subframe padding)
   - Pattern-only: `foo.#.#.exr` (wildcard for both components)
-
 - **Better hidden file support:**
   - `.bar1000.exr` now correctly parses as basename=`.bar`, frame=`1000`, ext=`.exr`
-  - Previously treated `.bar1000` as single extension
-
 - **Cross-platform path handling:**
   - Correctly handles both Unix (`/`) and Windows (`\`) path separators
-  - Mixed separators normalized properly
 
-#### Implementation Details
+**Behavioral Changes:**
+- **Auto-padding:** Now only applies to single-frame files without explicit padding
+  - `foo.100.exr` → gets auto-padding based on frame width (backward compatible)
+  - `foo.1@@@@.exr` → preserves explicit padding (previously would auto-pad)
+- **Pattern parsing:** Uses shared ANTLR4 grammar instead of regex
+  - More consistent behavior across languages
+  - Better error messages for invalid patterns
+
+#### Range-Based FrameSet Storage (#150)
+
+Migrates `FrameSet` from fully-expanded storage to range-based storage for memory efficiency.
 
-- **Grammar-based parsing:** Shared ANTLR4 grammar (`grammar/fileseq.g4`) with Go and C++ implementations
-- **Parser generator:** `src/fileseq/grammar/generate.py` tool for regenerating parser from grammar
-- **Build system:** Modern `pyproject.toml` with PEP 517/518 support
-- **Version management:** Automatic versioning via `setuptools-scm` from git tags
-- **CI/CD:** Grammar validation in CI to ensure consistency across languages
-- **Documentation:** Comprehensive migration guide and benchmarks included
+**Breaking Changes:**
+- `.items` and `.order` properties now deprecated with `DeprecationWarning`
+  - Still functional but expand lazily and warn on access
+  - Use `set(frameset)` and `list(frameset)` instead
 
-#### Performance
+**New Features:**
+- **Memory-efficient storage:** 99.9%+ memory reduction for large ranges
+  - 100k frames: 7.8MB → 536 bytes
+  - Stores ranges instead of fully-expanded frames
+- **Performance improvements:** Range-based algorithms for operations like `isConsecutive()`
 
-Grammar-based parsing provides comparable performance to v2.x regex parsing:
-- Simple patterns: ~240 μs per parse
-- Complex patterns: ~445 μs per parse
-- FrameSet operations: ~13 μs for simple ranges
-- Disk scanning: <1 ms for typical directories
+**Bug Fixes:**
+- `isConsecutive()` now correctly handles interleaved ranges and empty framesets
+- `hasSubFrames()` correctly detects decimal notation like `"1.0-5.0"`
+- Stagger modifier (`:`) now properly deduplicates frames
