Meaning
It indicates that something happened not long ago (according to the speaker's perception). The actual time from when the event occurred to the present moment may vary, but if the speaker perceives that time as short, this pattern can be used. This is the difference between this pattern and the pattern that indicates something has just finished (Verb te-form + ところです).
