no, a new version is some sort of remix (like Ladies Night ~another night~)
how would you define Cover then? Of course it is also a new version of a song, but since EVERYTHING (music, vocals etc) is changed, it is a cover ... whereas a new version keeps either (like my example, which keeps the vocals)

more over, a new version does not require the artist to lift a finger
a cover on the other hand rolls out a new process of recording, thinking about arrangments, sometimes even twisting the lyrics
