Document support for multiple sizes?

[indolering]

You thank some people in the readme for their input on multiple sizes. Has this actually made it into the production system? If so, could you document support for it?

Yeah sorry, it's a bit weird. Old implementation (1.x.x) of Favicons has support for multiple image sizes based on the icon size. New one has support for multiple image sizes based on the platform, different syntax. I have to update this, thanks for pointing it out!

It is still not clear to me how I would, for example, specify a primary SVG for the larger sizes and a secondary image for 16x16 and 24x24.

That implementation of size-based images was in version 1. Since then, we've started using the RealFaviconGenerator API which gives us the ability to use platform-based images only, for example:

A master picture can also be declared for each platform. For example, if a specific icon was designed for iOS:

"ios": {
    "master_picture": {
        "type": "url",
        "url": "http://somesite.com/some_pic.png"
    },
    "picture_aspect": "no_change"
},

With that in mind, if you'd like this functionality to be in the RealFaviconGenerator API then I recommend contacting Philippe as it's totally up to him :)

As for our functionality at the moment, you can check it out here:

@haydenbleasel Has this changed in the meantime? The configuration example states that source can be an "array of { size: filepath }". But how exactly would be the notation of that?
