- Breaking: [refactored](https://github.com/tobymao/sqlglot/commit/6b0da1e1a2b5d6bdf7b5b918400456422d30a1d4) the way SQL comments are handled. Before at most one comment could be attached to an expression, now multiple comments may be stored in a list.

- Breaking: [refactored](https://github.com/tobymao/sqlglot/commit/be332d10404f36b43ea6ece956a73bf451348641) the way properties are represented and parsed. The argument `this` now stores a property's attributes instead of its name.

- New: added structured ParseError properties.

- New: the executor now handles set operations.

- New: sqlglot can [now execute SQL queries](https://github.com/tobymao/sqlglot/commit/62d3496e761a4f38dfa61af793062690923dce74) using python objects.

- Improvement: allow functions to [inherit](https://github.com/tobymao/sqlglot/pull/674) their arguments' types, so that annotating CASE, IF etc. is possible.

- Improvement: allow [joining with same names](https://github.com/tobymao/sqlglot/pull/660) in the python executor.

- Improvement: the "using" field can now be set for the [join expression builders](https://github.com/tobymao/sqlglot/pull/636).
