This is true (but not new).

These days, there is actually a record of messages from past turns
stored the the server, if configured at runtime (the "event cache"). But
there's no way for the client to retrieve it on demand; it's sent to the
client when it first connects to a game. Perhaps some more facilities in
this area would be useful.
