- Before 1.0, controlling the blocking behaviour of :meth:`slixmpp.basexmpp.BaseXMPP.process` was
- done via the ``threaded`` argument. This arrangement was a source of confusion because some users
- interpreted that as controlling whether or not Slixmpp used threads at all, instead of how
- the processing loop itself was spawned.
+However, calling ``process()`` is not required if you already have an event loop
+running, so you can handle the logic around it however you like.
- The statements ``xmpp.process(threaded=False)`` and ``xmpp.process(block=True)`` are equivalent.

+ Before slixmpp, :meth:slixmpp.basexmpp.BaseXMPP.process` took ``block`` and ``threaded``
+ arguments. These do not make sense anymore and have been removed. Slixmpp does not use
