Previously, wxMSW native version only sent wxEVT_LIST_ITEM_[UN]CHECKED if the item state has really changed, while the generic version, used in wxGTK and wxOSX, did it unconditionally and wxQt native version never did it at all. Make all ports behave as wxMSW, which seems like the most useful behaviour and add a unit test checking that this behaves as expected. Note that virtual controls still always send the events in all ports, as they work as notifications for the model in their case, and a new test checks that this is the case in all ports (except wxQt which doesn't support them).
About
wxWidgets is a free and open source cross-platform C++ framework for writing advanced GUI applications using native controls.
wxWidgets allows you to write native-looking GUI applications for all the major desktop platforms and also helps with abstracting the differences in the non-GUI aspects between them. It is free for the use in both open source and commercial applications, comes with the full, easy to read and modify, source and extensive documentation and a collection of more than a hundred examples. You can learn more about wxWidgets at https://www.wxwidgets.org/ and read its documentation online at https://docs.wxwidgets.org/

Licence
wxWidgets licence is a modified version of LGPL explicitly allowing not distributing the sources of an application using the library even in the case of static linking.
Building
For building the library, please see platform-specific documentation under
docs/<port> directory, e.g. here are the instructions for
wxGTK, wxMSW and
wxOSX.
If you're building the sources checked out from Git, and not from a released version, please see these additional Git-specific notes.
