Congratulations MacRuby Development Team:

My application almost runs now in MacRuby.

Is NSTimer class supported in MacRuby?

I was doing background processing using NSTimer as follows:

@timer = NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval( 5.0, :target, self, :selector, :periodicUpdate, :userInfo, nil, :repeats, true )

but this now gives me the error:

undefined method `scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval' for NSTimer:Class (NoMethodError)

Do you have a preferred method for doing backgound tasks in MacRuby - perhaps separate threads?

Thanks,
Bob Rice
