3rd version of Project Manager gains a lot of new features to manage 3D Assets. 
What is most unique to the new features – is the ability to assign custom previews to materials, associate files with materials, and create a gallery of files associated with any type of assets including materials. 
You can also write a description for materials and, of course, assign categories to materials.

Key Highlights of this update:
USD Format Support
  • Added interactive rendering support for Universal Scene Description (USD) format, expanding compatibility with modern 3D production pipelines
Enhanced Team Collaboration
  • New shared color system for folder organization that can be synced across teams or kept local
  • Ability to import local color schemes into team database for better customization
Smarter Asset Management
  • Improved search directory filtering by filenames
  • New intelligent system for texture relinking that matches directory names with 3D model files
Improved Export Options
  • New options to save/export models with specific layers (default or required only)
Comment System Enhancement
  • New "Append" feature allows adding comments to multiple assets without overwriting existing ones

Drag ProjectManager.mzp file into viewport, check "Uninstall" and press button "Next" for uninstall.
Or manually delete CacheStart.mse from "scripts\startup\" directory and "ProjectManager" folder from "c:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsmax\2011 - 64bit\enu\scripts\TrackScripts\" directory.

Check for use the Material/ Map Browser in the old style.

Hello again,

I have installed latest PM and my material/map browser turned into this:

 

Does anyone know how to return it back to new Material/map browser:?

 

Found solution:

open "C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2011 - 64bit\enu\plugcfg\sme.ini and modify the last two lines to

"ShowMtlBrowser=1
UseOldMtlBrowser=0"
