I'm not sure what you mean by 'chronology type' but you are able to create
"frequencies" which are defined by a "unit" (day, week, month or year), a
"number of issues per unit" (for example if you receive 2 issues per day), and
a number of unit between each issues (for example if you receive 1 issue every
2 days)

> More options and customizability in Publication Cycle

I don't understand, what is the difference between Publication Cycle and
Chronology Type ?

> Omit dates/months

What does it mean exactly?

> Ability to modify independent issues after they arrive

Hmm I think you actually can modify already received issues via
serials-collection.pl page, by checking appropriate issues and clicking "Edit
serials".

> Ability to combine issues (ex. June and July are usually separate but the
> publication decides to combine them for that year)

No. This patch do not allow that.

> Date functionality in dropbox (ex. Volume, Number, Date)

Do you mean having the received date of issue in its serial number ? In this
case, no, but I think this could be added without much effort

> And have the actual Month spelled out (January...)

Yes, you can indicate 'monthname' in the new field 'Formatting' of numbering
pattern, and a value of 1 will be saved as "January". You can choose the locale
in the subscription edit page. ('dayname' is also possible)
