As far as I can tell, the old and new versions will be the same once uploaded on BNet. What matters is to keep the same name/title (ie. not the file name, but the name shown ingame). The only reason why an uploaded file is considered a new map on BNet is because they have different titles.
PS: do you mean the map title in map properities or the title when i upload the map?
The map title in map properties is the same as the title shown when you upload the map. The title during the upload is taken from the title set in the map properties. You can upload any file as an update of your old map, as long as they share the same title when you upload them, they will be considered the same on BNet.
NB: Avoid at all cost naming your map "My Map V0.xxxxx"... Because each time you will change the version number in the map title, BNet will see a difference in the name and consider it's a new map.

hey, i have a released version of my map.
then i copied the file to another folder and did some stuff.
if i modify the old file, it will normally update the released one when i publish it. if i puplish the new file, it will be released as a new map.
my question: is it possible release the new file as an upgrade of the old file ? so it wont lose popularity and so on?
