Cannot connect to any other 1.9 servers except for 1.9.4

I installed the 1.9.4 version of minecraft and went to try it out on a 1.9.2 server and I got the error "Outdated Server! I'm still on 1.9.2!". as far as I know all 1.9 versions should connect to any 1.9 server/client however this is not the case. I also get this error when trying to connect to any other 1.9 server running spigot as well.
