Iminyaka emibili kusukela kokugcina ukukhululwa kweklayenti lomlayezo osheshayo , esekela amanethiwekhi afana ne-XMPP, i-Bonjour, i-Gadu-Gadu, i-ICQ, i-IRC, ne-Novell GroupWise. I-Pidgin GUI ibhalwe kusetshenziswa umtapo wezincwadi we-GTK+ futhi isekela izici ezifana nencwadi yamakheli eyodwa, amanethiwekhi amaningi, isixhumi esibonakalayo esinamathebhu, ama-avatar, nokuhlanganiswa nendawo yesaziso ye-Windows, GNOME, kanye ne-KDE. Ukusekelwa kokuxhuma ama-plugin kwenza kube lula ukunweba ukusebenza kwe-Pidgin, futhi ukuqaliswa kokusekelwa kwephrothokholi eyisisekelo kumtapo wezincwadi we-libpurple ohlukile kwenza kube nokwenzeka ukuthi uzenzele owakho ukusebenzisa ngokusekelwe kubuchwepheshe be-Pidgin (ngokwesibonelo, i-Adium ye-macOS).
Lokhu kukhishwa kuzoba okokugcina egatsheni le-2.X.0, futhi yonke imizamo yonjiniyela izoqondiswa ... Phakathi kwe- izici eziphawulekayo kulokhu kukhululwa zihlanganisa ukusekelwa kokuphathwa kokusakaza kwe-XMPP (XEP-0198 Stream Management), ukulungisa ukuvuza kwenkumbulo emiphumeleni yosesho, ukusekelwa kwegama leseva (SNI) ku-GnuTLS, ukuthuthukiswa okuningi kwe-videoconferencing, nokusekelwa kokwabelana ngesikrini nge-XDP Portal uma usebenzisa i-Wayland. i-purple-remote inikeza ukuhambisana nePython 3 ngenkathi igcina ikhono lokusebenzisa iPython 2.
