I know there's a lot of talk about pissing off customers in doing so, however every major software company does this (including Apple... Snow Leopard), and to keep the existing customers happy - can't you push an update as well as new version?
*************************
The released date displayed on an application page is the date the latest version of that application went live on the App Store. This date will allow customers to be aware of the date this version was released.
On category pages on the App Store, when you choose to sort by Released Date, applications are sorted according to the date the first version of the app went live on the App Store. Sorting by the original app released date creates a list where customers can easily find the most recent additions to the App Store.
Both of these dates are automatically set and cannot be edited in iTunes Connect.

Based on this response from Apple, I guess indie are totally dead out. There is no way for you to get free promotion ever again. Other than the day the app was released. Take alot of
PR work that it use to be. Game is changing.
