Assume you've selected an object and you have the Size Selector in the Utilities panel open. You can see the list of constraints applied to the object. In the list of constraints you could click on the little gear and pick delete. You can't in Xcode 6.
There are still several ways to delete constraints in IB:
Still, I miss ease of use of the gear delete feature and I'm wondering if it's still there in a similar fashion and I just can find it. While the other ways work, I find myself wasting lots of time especially when playing with the new Size Classes feature. So, find a easier way to delete them?
Open Utilities panel on XCode and select Size Inspector. Here list of all constraints are listed for selected view in storyboard. Now, select constraint(s) you want to delete. Now hit Backspace key on keyboard and selected constraints are deleted.
Clicking the Edit button in any of the constraints brings up a popover where you can change the constraint's relationship, constant, priority, or multiplier. To make additional changes, double-click the constraint to select it and open it in the Attribute inspector.

Select the object and the press the delete key. You could also then click on the edit menu and choose delete.
In Xcode6 (Beta5) when I click on a particular constraint in the Size inspector, it acquires a thin blue border. The constraint can then be deleted using the backspace.
The accepted answer is right, but there is so much frustration with selecting constraints that lay outside of selected view that I decided to add this tips as another answer.
I found incredible list of tips that helped me to solve this problem.
The problem:
Soulution:
Click it with Shift+Ctrl pressed and you'll see a menu of all the views that exist where you've clicked.
To delete selected constraint press delete key.
