Hi there,
No upgrade is required. Blog editors and word processors are not the same and do not work the same way. The web standard is one blank line only, so you cannot add more blank lines by pressing return repeatedly like you would do with a typewriter or in a word processing application. If you want to learn how to format and space your posts and pages see: http://en.support.wordpress.com/writing-and-formatting-poetry/If you are working in the Visual editor, to get single spacing between paragraphs hold the SHIFT key down and simultaneously click ENTER at the end of the paragraph.
If you are working in the HTML (Text) editor, a single click of ENTER will give you a single-spaced line, and two clicks of ENTER will result in double spaced lines.

P.S. When you create a new post, always make sure the Format tool is set to Paragraph before you start typing. It’s in the Visual editor Row 2 first position “style”. See the illustration here http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#row-2 If you forget to do that then edit the post, highlight all in the Visual editor, select Paragraph from the Format tool, switch editor to Text then switch back to Visual and click Update.

If you want to change line spacing a bit – these two guides should help
Formatting text pt. 1: blank lines, alignment, wrap-around, two columns
Formatting text pt. 3: space between lines, characters, and words

FWIW I refer to both of those links in the post I linked to above. In fact I refer to these which I won’t link to here but do there:
Space between lines
Space between paragraphs
WORD and WordPress
No paragraph spacing in post-page editor
Formatting text pt. 1: blank lines, alignment, wrap-around, two columns
Formatting text pt. 2: indents and blockquotes
Formatting text pt. 3: space between lines, characters, and words
Formatting text pt. 4: transformations
Formatting text pt. 5: color, size, and font
