Lost Unlock?
Answered
In the Subversion frame (Alt+9), the Commit tab shows me a Default Changelist which includes a listing of all "Explicitly locked files."
I used to be able to select files from this list and release the locks on them via Right-click > SVN Unlock. That seems to be no longer available now. The only options relating to SVN are Revert and Commit - though only Revert seems to actually work from here.
Is this something that was changed in a recent update?
Alternatively, if someone knows an easier way to cleanup and release locked files across multiple files / folders within a project that would be a good workaround. Thanks.
Edit to add: Using Community Edition if that makes a difference.

Could you please share screenshots of what you are seeing? Are you right-clickin on a file or a folder?
See screenshot below. There used to be an option to unlock files from the list of explicitly locked files.
If I make a change to a file, it will appear under the Default Changelist where there is a right-click sub-menu which allows me to commit, revert, unlock, etc. But there is no longer a way to unlock files that haven't changed from the list of explicitly locked files like there was before.
Indeed, it seems to be a bug.
I have reported it to a developer:
https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-310990/Release-lock-on-SVN-files-is-missing
the bug has been handled and fix should be on its way to the future release.
