+## [1.9.4] — 2026-06-26
+
+### Changed
+- **Audiobook casting — page numbers in Rehearser**: page-break markers now carry the source PDF page number. In the Script Rehearser Stage, each page divider shows **"— Page N —"** instead of the generic "— Page break —", making it easy to cross-reference the audiobook script against the book. Applies both to audiobooks cast from Read Aloud PDFs and to screenplay PDFs imported directly into the Rehearser.
